The city has doled out a $250,000 settlement to a city firefighter who was falsely arrested for running a social club out of his Brooklyn home — and then exiled to Randalls Island, where his job was to burn hay.

“My life turned into a living hell,” said 17-year veteran firefighter Anthony Primus.

“You can’t really put a price on a man’s pride and career. It’s far short of what I feel I deserve,” said Primus.

His plight began in April 2004 when he was locked up for serving liquor without a license and unlicensed storage of booze at his residence on Utica Avenue.

The charges were dropped in 2007, and the settlement was reached Tuesday in Brooklyn Supreme Court, said his lawyer, Emil Sanchez.

Cops also cited Primus for stealing a Parks Department garbage can and illegally possessing a baton — accusations that were also dismissed, said his lawyer.

Primus said cops targeted him after he filed a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board against the former commander of the 77th Precinct, James O’Connell, in early 2004 over a matter of “disrespect.”
