Ignizio Passes Law to Make FDNY Safer
At yesterday’s stated meeting, the City Council voted on and unanimously passed Intro 1000A which was introduced by Councilman Ignizio earlier this year. This bill is part of a package of legislation designed to make firefighting safer and building demolition regulations more strict, as a result of the tragic Deutsche Bank Fire just two years ago.
Ignizio’s bill relates to the cutting and capping of standpipes, as it was partially due to a lack of an availible water that led to the untimely death of two of New York’s Bravest.
“This bill will not make the Beddia and Graffagnino families’ grief subside,” said Ignizio, “but hopefully we wont see any more tragedies stemming from the failings of a standpipe system designed to pump water to where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.”
