I thank you for the hard work that you and your fellow firefighters do each and every day,” said Borough President Markowitz. “You strive to ensure that Brooklynites are safe and secure in their homes and businesses and when called upon, you put your own lives at risk to save others. And for that you are owed our deepest thanks and respect.”
