New York City was forced to change the staffing of many firefighters
to different stations because so many firefighters were lost.
There were several people upset when a decision was made to close
Brooklyn's Squad #1, although city and firefighter officials said
it was only temporary. I heard many people from Brooklyn interviewed
on the news that said they felt like they were being punished by having
Squad #1 shut down. I do not know what the final decision was concerning
the city's firefighter staffing problems.
