Been a little busy here. Last weekend we had two arson fires at the university. One in a building under construction which was just the contents in a cinderblock room. the other was the concession stand at the football stadium. That was destroyed. Other than that, we've been quiet. Looking forward to a quiet weekend. Hope ya have one too!

Hi Kelly,
No we are not to busy this time of year. A couple of brush fires, and a good amount of false alarms. We also do marine rescues in the jamaica bay area, but just mostly people running out of gas.
stay safe TTYL
