Here we go, after 11 tap out Trucks with no OVM......The City just loves to kill civilians
This is so nuts its infuriating! Firefighting is inherently dangerous, to tie staffing levels to medical leave is idiotic. Considering the fact someone is entering an environment wrought with high heat, collapses, toxic smoke, and possible haz materials, would City Hall be more comfortable with firefighters potentially lying about their health and civilians dying because firefighters are showing up to work not healthy enough to do their job? Only bean counters would come up with this.
Why does everything coming out of City Hall have to do with response times, response times, response times, that?s like a starters gun going off at a race. Big deal, the race isn?t over it just began.
And New York City has a greater number of skyscrapers and multiple dwellings, making a 5th man vital, than big cities like Chicago, Boston, Washington, or Los Angeles for that matter where public housing consists of 1 and 2 story PDs not fire-resistant high-rise MDs, like what?s alluded to in that piece of baloney press release that went out Tuesday. This is like saying L66 can respond to City Island without affecting peoples lives then luckily L53 isn't closed yet 1/6/09 and its hummina, hummina, hummina. How did people fall for this mayor, its amazaing they voted for the King. Guess that?s what a billionaire can buy these days.
