The probationary NYC firefighter accused of driving drunk and high when he allegedly killed a Queens motorist was fired this week — as it emerged the ex-smoke eater is an OnlyFans model who posted beefcake content online, The Post has learned.
The FDNY suspended Michael Pena last month after he allegedly ran a red light while speeding and under the influence on Northern Boulevard in Corona, slamming into LaGuardia Airport worker Justin Diaz’ car less than two blocks from Diaz’ home.
Pena, 28, who was assigned to Engine 304 in Queens Village and with the department for less than 18 months, was suspended for 28 days following the Feb. 26 crash, and officially fired Friday, according to an FDNY spokesman.
Diaz, 23, just graduated from college with a degree in aeronautics and was studying to be an airplane mechanic, his heartbroken brother told The Post.
“This firefighter who’s supposed to be protecting lives and saving lives, goes and takes my brother’s life and he attempts to use his firefighter status as a Get Out of Jail Free card,” Franklin Diaz said.
“The first words out of his mouth after he hit my brother when cops got there were, ‘I hit him. I ran the red light. And I’m a firefighter.’”
Surveillance footage obtained by The Post showed the moment Pena’s 2015 Mercedes Benz S63 allegedly ran the red light and T-boned Diaz’s 2022 BMW 2040 as he drove on 107th Street in Corona.
Diaz’s car was sent screeching and skidding down the darkened street, the footage showed.
After the crash, Pena failed to help Diaz, as an emergency worker should, the victim’s family alleged, claiming they saw video that prosecutors obtained.
On his OnlyFans account under the handle “I’m Mike LV,” Pena posts frequent shirtless shots showing off his chiseled abs and arms and appears to charge extra — and collect tips — for private content.
“Feelin real fresh got some new content for y’all message me to unlock the goods,” Pena posted on July 31, 2023.
A photo posted Nov. 19, 2022, gets precariously close to showing his privates as he flexes in a mirror while wearing a white towel on his lower half.
“Keepin this tan goin a lot of sexy s–t coming😮💨🤪 message for more,” he posted.
The victim’s brother said the OnlyFans account “shows his character.”
“He had an OnlyFans account that was active, but he was also active at the FDNY,” Diaz said. “This guy is making money from selling his body … while also as a firefighter.”
Pena was fired because members take an oath and swear “to conduct themselves in a manner that will not bring reproach or discredit to the department,” the FDNY spokeswoman said. She didn’t answer questions about whether his OnlyFans account was part of the decision.
His lawyer did not return a call seeking comment.
The victim’s family fears they won’t see justice in New York City’s liberal court system and his one-time membership in the FDNY, Diaz said.
“I would like this to be known, that just because of the status that you hold that not only should you be held to the law but you should be held to a higher standard because you took an oath to protect the people of the city,” Diaz said.
