NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- A secretary at "Playboy's" New York offices knows exactly how to perk up the bummed-out firemen of the FDNY.
She gives them free lasagna and pictures of naked ladies.

Stacy Smith is known as the "Playboy Girl" among New York's hook and ladder lads because, twice a month, she visits a firehouse with a hot dinner and copies of "Playboy" for everyone.

She started the pick-me-ups last November as a way to get over her own grief over Sept. 11, and says the dinners have saved her a lot of money in therapist bills.

Although Smith started out approaching firehouses herself, word has spread and now the firemen ask for her by name.

She usually shells out all the moolah for the meals herself, but lately has been bringing along a bevy of female friends who pitch in a few bucks too.

Smith admits some sparks have flown between the ladies and the firemen, but says most of the time the gatherings feel just like a "crazy family reunion."
