A shootout in the street in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn resulted in bullets striking the firehouse and Engine 283 early Monday.
The company had just returned to quarters after responding to a fire on East 78th Street in Canarsie, the Unifored Firefighters Association reported via Twitter.
The bullets from a fight outside penetrated the apparatus’ driver door and entered quarters.
“We call on the leaders of NYC to do what must be done to take back the streets for all New Yorkers and to put an end to the REIGN of criminal and unlawful activity NOW!”
Today early this morning, unacceptable violence continued throughout our city.
