San Jose firefighters who gave a scantily clad woman a ride in a fire truck last year are being disciplined. 

Chief Robert Sapien Jr. told the city council that the truck was assigned to transport a man from the fire station to the Pink Poodle strip club where he worked. A woman climbed into the truck and asked for a ride-along, KTVU reported.

They originally refused, but she persisted. So, they drove partway around the block. She was filmed getting out of the fire truck. 

"I have initiated dialogue sessions with senior and middle management to reinforce professional conduct expectations, a process that will continue through all department ranks," Sapien said in a statement. 

He didn't say what the discipline was.
