FDNY officials are investigating whether a firefighter who crashed his rig while allegedly high on cocaine also broke department residency rules.

Records list a Bronx address for Firefighter Thomas Lennon, 41, who set off a multi-car pileup Feb. 20 after he plowed into another fire truck on his way to a South Bronx blaze.

A Daily News search of telephone records linked Lennon to a Paramus, N.J., address - and neighbors said he apparently lives there.

"There's no indication from our part that he didn't reside within allowed limits, but we are currently investigating his residency," an FDNY spokeswoman said yesterday.

Firefighters must live in the four upstate counties.
