CM Ariola, FDNY commissioner tour Rockaway firehouses amid concerns over infrastructure

Council Member Joann Ariola and FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore toured Rockaway firehouses to address infrastructure issues including leaky roofs, collapsed ceilings, and mold. They highlighted significant damage at stations like Engine 264/268 and Ladder 134 (the 'Big House'), which has flood damage and structural support braces. The city allocated $5.2 million for repairs, but progress is delayed due to the building's landmark status, according to Ariola.
