Pete Davdison learned in late July the consequences of his wreck back in March, when he lost control of his Mercedes-Benz, slamming into a house in Beverly Hills. The actor, who was charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving, entered into an 18-month diversion program that, along with other things, requires him to complete 50 hours of community service. It turns out he plans to complete those hours at a place that has a strong personal connection to the Davidson family — the New York City Fire Department.
Fans of the comedian are likely aware that his father, Scott Davidson, was killed in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks in 2001. The tragedy has been the source of some of Pete Davidson’s standup jokes, but he’s also gotten real about the grief and trauma, with those themes playing into the 2020 dramedy The King of Staten Island, as well as his Peacock series Bupkis. His family’s association with the FDNY makes it pretty significant that he has reached an agreement, per the New York Times, to do community service there.
