Yesterday, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams met with New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro and members of the department’s citywide and borough leadership for a meet-and-greet. They discussed potential areas for collaboration, including expanding outreach for diversity hiring and encouraging Brooklynites to be certified in administering CPR.
“Commissioner Nigro and I share a commitment to the safety of Brooklyn, and I am excited to see how we will further this partnership in the months ahead,” said Borough President Adams. “We must pursue an approach of prevention when we think of safety, learning how to avoid disaster and tragedy before they befall us and our families; this philosophy includes our approach to fire safety, in conjunction with the FDNY. I also look forward to helping Commissioner Nigro achieve a shared vision of a diverse, well-equipped corps of firefighters and EMTs.”
