MARKOWITZ HONORS BROOKLYN SANITATION HEROES

Brooklyn Sanitation Workers Damon Allen and Michael Kalinowski Come to Borough Hall

2:00 P.M.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8
BROOKLYN BOROUGH HALL
209 JORALEMON STREET
BETWEEN COURT & ADAMS STREETS
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN

On Thursday, December 8, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will honor Brooklyn Sanitation Workers Damon Allen and Michael Kalinowski who helped 5 year-old Emani McCovery and her father Damion Whyte escape from a raging fire at 4:00 a.m. on September 14. The two rookies of New York’s Strongest were heading back to the Brooklyn District 17 garage when they saw flames shooting out of an apartment building on Remsen Avenue in Canarsie. They ran towards frantic cries for help from a third story apartment. As flames shot out of the window, Whyte balanced himself and dropped his daughter from the balcony into the waiting arms of Crown Heights’ resident Allen. Meanwhile, Kalinowski, a resident of Bensonhurst, helped Whyte jump to the ground. The fire was so intense that three firefighters were injured extinguishing the blaze.
