Council Member Elizabeth Crowley received an award from the New York Fire Alarm Association. They render a great service to the City by working with firefighters, building engineers, architects and technicians on the proper operation of fire alarm systems and equipment.
Fire and Criminal Justice
Our city firefighters and corrections officers work tirelessly to make sure that New Yorkers are protected. As Chair of the Fire and Criminal Justice Committee, Council Member Elizabeth Crowley has made it a priority to ensure that they are here to stay. When the Bloomberg Administration’s proposed budget included the closing of up to 20 fire companies, Elizabeth led a fierce campaign which included 15 rallies and numerous editorials. Ultimately, alongside Speaker Christine C. Quinn, her colleagues on the City Council, local civic groups, and residents across the City, the $37 million needed to save the fire companies was restored.
