Their hands were seared instead of safeguarded — and now two of New York’s Bravest are suing the city for issuing them defective protective gloves.

Last February, the FDNY began to do a recall of the flawed Blaze Fighter model gloves after at least six smoke-eaters suffered second-degree burns on the back of their hands.

In each case, the gloves, first distributed by the FDNY last fall, were not damaged.

The two firefighters suing, Lt. Martin Kalwiss and a subordinate, Michael Galgano, both from Engine Company 236 in Brooklyn, allege their hands were burned while fighting a fire in the Woodhaven section of Queens last November because of “radiant heat penetrating through the back of the new gloves,” according to court papers.

An FDNY spokesman referred questions about the gloves to officials at the city’s Law Department, who would only confirm that they had received the suit.
