Firefighters in Queens were stunned to return from a false-alarm call to find that a strange, well-dressed intruder had made himself at home, sources said.
The firehouse sneak made his daring entry at 10:50 p.m. Friday as members of Engine 303 and Ladder 126 rushed to respond to a call two blocks from their Princeton Street firehouse in Jamaica.
As they were leaving the garage, one of the Bravest thought he spotted a man scurrying under the closing door.
“As the doors were closing, one of the guys on the back of the truck . . . saw a guy run under the door,” FDNY Lt. Tom McGoldrick told The Post.
When the units returned from the call, which turned out to be a false alarm from a pull box, they discovered a dapperly dressed man, Terrell Webb, 47, hanging out in rear of the firehouse.
“I asked him what he was doing and he said he was hungry,” McGoldrick said. “But he did not look hungry.”
“So I asked him why he didn’t ask us for food because we would have fed him and he didn’t answer us, he just changed the subject,” he added.
The firefighters held Webb for cops, who charged him with burglary, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. Nothing appeared to be stolen, but investigators were trying to determine whether he caused the false alarm to get in.
“It stinks that we have to worry about someone breaking into the firehouse,” McGoldrick said.
