The Bronx City Council delegation and Twin Parks fire survivors are backing Speaker Julie Menin’s push for FDNY funding to add one more firefighter per engine company.
A bipartisan coalition has formed in support of a $91.7-million city investment to increase FDNY staffing. At a June 1 press conference outside FDNY Engine Company 7/Ladder Company 1/Battalion 1 in lower Manhattan, Menin called for Mayor Mamdani to approve funding that would allow a fifth firefighter in the 86 busiest and deadliest fire-prone areas.
