The Ozone Park Residents Block Association is urging city officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, to take immediate action against blocked fire hydrants following a fatal fire in Bay Ridge. They link the fire's tragic outcome, which claimed the life of Navy veteran Gregory Fernandez, to two vehicles obstructing hydrant access. Despite a rapid response by firefighters, the blocked hydrant may have delayed water delivery. Fernandez's family was also affected but survived. This incident highlights ongoing issues with illegal parking that impedes emergency response efforts in NYC neighborhoods.
The Ozone Park Residents Block Association is demanding urgent action to address the issue of blocked fire hydrants that may have contributed to a tragic fatality.
