MANHATTAN — A boozed-up city firefighter got busted for drunk driving in the Financial District on Christmas Eve, police said.

Hugo Diaz, 35, was arrested and charged with DWI near West and Murray streets about 9 a.m. Thursday, NYPD sources said.

Diaz blew a 0.13 on a Breathalyzer test after getting into a minor car accident, putting him well above the legal limit, the Daily News reported.
