“The rallies are good to get the word out there. I wanted to do something different,” Meara said. “The residents hear about it. Now they can get proactive.”

Last month, Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed closing 20 FDNY companies across the city, and since then two rallies have been held outside the Bayside firehouse at the corner of 36th Avenue and 214th Place. CB 11 passed a resolution opposing the closure. READ ALL
