A team of firemen were mobbed by women who believed they were part of the act when they went to tackle a blaze at a strip show.
Hoards of female fans cheered and clapped expecting the team of eight fire fighters to start stripping at the pub on Hard Lane in St Helens, Merseyside.
Unbeknown to the bar's customers a bar stool and carpet had caught alight in the dressing room of the actual dancer who had been using lighter fuel in his own stripping fireman routine
When the uniformed men burst into the pub to tackle the blaze they were greeted with ecstatic cheers of "Gerremoff!" from the women watching the show.
"One lady, shouted, 'Ooo, we've got our money's worth here!"' said watch manager Paul Costello, from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service.
"Because the fire was in another part of the building they didn't know we had been called out. I think the stripper had just finished his act - he was only wearing a towel."
He added: "The stripper was genuinely upset and concerned. He was mortified at what happened. He should have done another spot but just couldn't go on."
