26 FDNY firehouses out of service over vaccine mandate staff shortage
2021-10-31
[NYPOST] The FDNY shut down 26 firehouses across the Big Apple as of 7:30 a.m. Saturday because of staff shortages caused by the vaccination mandate, The Post has learned.Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican who represents Staten Island and Brooklyn, tweeted Saturday that five of the companies were in her district — and said it’s Hizzoner who could have blood on his hands.

"If someone dies due to a slower emergency response, it’s on Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
and his overreaching mandates. I hope this fool fixes it ASAP!" she tweeted.

The shuttered companies included Engine 55 in Lower Manhattan, Engine 234 in Crown Heights, Engine 231 in Brownsville, Ladder 128 in Long Island City and Engine 158 and Ladder 78 in Richmond on Staten Island, according to an FDNY alert sent Saturday morning.

"Twenty six companies out of service is an unconscionable number," said Councilman Joe Borelli, a Staten Island Republican who chairs the committee on fire and emergency management. "The firefighters who are unable to work have all been tested within the week and are not Covid positive, and I doubt New Yorkers care about the vaccine status of the person applying defibrillators to their chest."

#1  When your house in on fire or you need a police officer as in Portland and other blue heavens (sarc), you can still call a social worker.
