More than 1,000 turn out for FDNY block party on Staten Island
Briefly

"The significance of these kinds of events are tremendous because what you're doing is you're introducing the community to the Fire Department and they see us in another light...they only see us in emergencies. But now they get to see us as regular people, and it becomes an opportunity for them to realize this is an opportunity they can have for a job also."
"A DJ fired up attendees with tracks and an assortment of mini games, while inflatable bounce houses offered an opportunity for kids to have some fun. Firefighters mingled with members of the community they protect."
