Retired assistant fire chief showed up for work naked

A bad joke has landed a former Johnson City, NY fire official in court. He was caught on camera wearing nothing but his fireman's hat and a smile.

Retired Assistant Fire Chief Kenneth Rowe showed up at work naked to make his buddies laugh. Other firefighters took pictures and sent them to friend and coworkers. The pictures, however, ended up in the hands of police.



Rowe was arrested and charged with indecent exposure. He won't have to worry about losing his job, however. Rowe just retired after serving 20 years. His family says he went to work naked to celebrate his retirement.
