Hate-spew son of chief to join FDNY

A FORMER city fire commissioner’s son forced to resign from the FDNY in disgrace after posting racist and anti-Semitic tweets is about to become a firefighter, sources said Saturday.

Joe Cassano (top photo), the son of retired Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano (bottom), will be joining the FDNY Academy on Dec. 11. The younger Cassano is already an EMT with the department.

Cassano quit the FDNY’s Emergency Medical Service in 2013 after he was caught posting a string of hateful comments against minorities and Jews on his personal Twitter account during his first year on the job.

The EMT’s vile tweets included: “I like Jews about as much as hitler #toofar? NOPE.”

He also wrote: “Getting sick of picking up all these Obama lovers and taking them to the hospital because their medicare pays for an ambulance and not a cab.”

And on Martin Luther King Day in 2013, he tweeted, “MLK could go kick rocks for all I care, but thanks for the time and a half today.”

Cassano, 28, was allowed to reapply to the EMT Academy last year after he sought counseling from Rabbi Steven Burg.

His re-hiring and subsequent transition to firefighter drew the ire of the Vulcan Society, which said the FDNY’s actions sent the wrong message.

“The FDNY isn’t showing it does all it can for inclusiveness and diversity when it goes out of its way to hire someone who violated its policies,” said society president Regina Wilson.

“All those people who talk about the lowering of standards in the FDNY, we’ll be waiting to hear from you when Cassano gets sworn in on the 11th.”

During an exclusive interview with the Daily News last year, Cassano said he had seen the error of his “very ignorant and very immature” ways.

“I’ve apologized for those comments and I am still apologizing for them today,” he said.

Calls to both Cassano and his father, whom he lives with, were not returned Saturday.

“EMT Cassano has passed all requirements for promotion to firefighter and is scheduled to enter the upcoming probationary firefighter class,” an FDNY spokesman said .
