Four people got trapped in a fake fire rig at a Staten Island fair on Saturday — and a team of genuine FDNY firefighters rushed to the scene to rescue them.

Hilarious photos show the real smoke-eaters in full regalia climbing a ladder to save their pretend brethren stuck on a “Fire Truck” ride.

Proving that New York’s Bravest will never leave behind a fellow smoke-eater in distress, the FDNY responded to the comical call at Holy Trinity Church Greek Festival on Richmond Avenue at about 7 p.m.

Proving the FDNY leaves no smoke-eater behind, New York's Bravest rescued four people who were trapped in a fire-truck ride at Staten Island's Holy Trinity Church Greek Festival.

The real firefighters were greeted with cheers and applause as they escorted a woman down to safety, according to video of the ordeal.

The rescue took about 15 minutes, and nobody was injured, the FDNY said.
