Six FDNY members of Ladder 113 have been suspended for allegedly driving their truck to a state senator's New York City office and threatening his staff over the vaccine mandate for city workers.

The on-duty firefighters drove an in-service ladder truck to state Senator Zellnor Myrie's office in Brooklyn on Friday and questioned staff as to where the politician lives, a department spokesperson confirmed. The crew is accused of telling his staffers they would have "blood on their hands" Monday when unvaccinated workers must go on unpaid leave.

The group of firefighters also allegedly told the staff that if a fire was reported at Myrie's home they would not respond.

Commissioner Daniel Nigro condemned the alleged actions of the crew and told News 4 they had been relieved of duty for their actions and face disciplinary action.

1. They need to fire these fuckers and if there IS a fire at Senator Zellnor Myrie's home or office

I believe we'll need to know ALL six whereabouts. As that sounded kinda like a threat to me.

2. OOOOOOO.......A SUSPENSION.

I wonder if it's paid.

Let's not be too hasty here by firing these pieces of excrement. Give them EVERY benefit of the doubt.

4. I don't understand why they went after the senator?

What did he have to do with the mandate.

5. Disgraceful and appalling. Taking a joyride in the rig to threaten a state senator.

They will be fired and should be arrested.

I'm an FDNY spouse and have always been proud to be part of that family. This is horrible.
