A weirdo with war paint on his face sneaked into a Little Italy firehouse and scrawled bizarre messages on a chalkboard, police sources said.

Firefighters at Engine Co. 55 on Broome Street discovered the creep’s nutty rant, “D-Day, 2-Cool, Rueb, Zienitu, Save Humans,” after returning from a job Tuesday.

The engine company received a call at 9:24 a.m. that a fire alarm had gone off in an apartment building on Charlton Street in the West Village.

As firefighters were pulling out of the station, a man came up and tried to engage them in conversation, the sources said.

But the everyday heroes had no time and left, the sources said.

He slipped into the station as the gate was closing, a witness told police.
