Crowds at the three firehouses, the assemblywoman made the three announcements with crowds erupting into cheer. “In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy it was our Vollies who jumped in and helped all of us. This is capital money that can be used to help further the good work these fire departments do in Roxbury, Broad Channel and Breezy Point. Whether it be expanding the building, buying needed equipment or lifesaving apparatuses, I am so proud to support their dedicated work with this funding. In this community we take care of each other, and as your Assemblywoman I am working to ensure that our fire departments and the good work they do continues,” said Pheffer Amato.
