Bensonhurst’s Bravest recognized for life-saving work
Bensonhurst’s Bravest, Engine Company 253, remained humble in the face of accolades from Assemblymember William Colton and 47th Assembly District Leader Nancy Tong, who visited the firefighters at their 86th Street stationhouse on Friday, October 17 to thank them for all that they do every day – and all they did for one particular family eight months ago.
“We heard from our constituents about how they responded within a couple of minutes and were so professional and pleasant, and I felt it was important for them to be recognized,” said Colton. “To them, it’s routine, but to the families affected, it’s not routine.”
“You do a great job, not just in this instance, but all of the time,” added Tong.
