Firefighters threaten state senator's staff over vaccine mandate while on duty

Four New York City firefighters have been suspended after driving their truck to a state senator's office while on duty, asking for the politician's home address and telling him the city would have "blood on its hands" over the city's vaccine mandate.

The group, from Ladder 113 in Brooklyn, went to the office of state Sen. Zellnor Myrie in the company's fire district in uniform and asked to speak to him, although as a state official he had no involvement in the city mandate from Mayor Bill de Blasio.

All city personnel, including firefighters, must have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by the time they show up to work on Monday. Those who do not get vaccinated will be placed on unpaid leave.

The senator was not there at the time, but the firefighters spoke to a staff member.

Firefighters need to be high on the list of suspects. Since they already threatened not to respond to fires, one can assume they are hoping for such fires. Instead of heroes, they are starting to sound like arsonists.
