An FDNY paramedic was busted for lighting his own car – a new BMW 535 – on fire in Brooklyn, cops said yesterday.

Glenroy Griffith, 39, set his gray 2008 sedan on fire by Prospect Park’s Wollman Rink near Lincoln Road on Friday afternoon, police sources said.

“He opened the side door of the car, lit a match, threw it inside and walked away,” one witness told cops.

It was unclear why he allegedly started the blaze.

Griffith, a 19-year veteran, was charged with reckless endangerment and arson, then released without bail.

no surprise on Peppo’s win – the guy took 4th in the Union Vale 1/2/3 race – great breakout performance in the park.

Not clear to me how a FDNY employee can afford a fancy BMW in the first place. Id say he could have done it for the insurance money, or maybe he was upside down on payments and didnt want to give it back to the bank. Or maybe hes crazy.

what’s with putting question marks behind peppo’s win? should be fucking exclamation points.

… and paramedics aren’t emts. The article calls him both, but after 19 years, you’d hope he was a paramedic. A fdny paramedic has fdny in their ‘title’ because s/he …. is employed by fdny. Rather than the a hospital or ams or what have you.
