Walk-through with FDNYFC

On Friday Aprill 11th, Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato joined FDNY First Deputy Commissioner Tucker for an in-depth walk-through of EMS Station 20 and Engine 72—two essential facilities serving the heart of our district.

With deep family roots in the FDNY, the Councilwoman has always carried a strong personal connection to the department and a deep appreciation for the everyday heroism of our city’s first responders. Her visit was a reaffirmation of her commitment to supporting those who put their lives on the line for our safety.

She was honored to be joined by members of the FDNY Fire Marshals and the Uniformed Firefighters Association, both of whom play critical roles in not only protecting our communities but also advocating for the needs and rights of fire and EMS professionals.

To the brave men and women of the FDNY: thank you. Your courage, dedication, and service inspire us all. We see you, we support you, and we will continue to champion your work at City Hall,

Happy Passover!

This past week, we extended our warmest wishes to all those in District 13 and beyond who celebrated Passover. May the holiday have been filled with peace, reflection, and meaningful time spent with loved ones.

Passover is a time to honor the values of freedom, perseverance, and faith—and we are grateful for the vibrant Jewish community that continues to enrich the fabric of our district.
