City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park), chairwoman of the Committee on Fire and Emergency Management, on Monday applauded the City Fire Department Fiscal Year 2023 budget allocations.
Some of those purchases include: $1.185 for a driving simulator at FDNY Randall’s Island training center; $170,000 for a new ceremonial vehicle to transport firefighters and their families to events such as memorials, parades, etc.; $30,000 for Engine Co. 302/Ladder Co. 155 in Jamaica; and $25,000 to buy DeWalt battery-operated saw packages for borough ladder companies.
“It’s an honor to make some much needed purchases for our heroes in the FDNY from the budget this year,” Ariola said. “From a driving simulator to saw packages, these will help to improve the abilities of New York’s Bravest—men and women who have dedicated their lives to keeping us all safe!”
