NEW YORK -- The front doors of four firehouses in Brooklyn were damaged by a driver who rammed a van into them early Saturday. One of the doors had been damaged so badly that firefighters at the station could not respond to two calls.
"You can't describe this as anything but outrageous," Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said at a news conference. "They not only endangered the lives of firefighters, they endangered the lives of everyone in this community.
None of the firehouses were among the six that were scheduled to be closed on Sunday. But Commissioner Scoppetta said security measures would be taken nearby the firehouses to be closed and those that were struck.
Officials said the van struck Engine 217 in Bedford-Stuyvesant at about 4:40 a.m., but caused minor damage. The driver then struck Engine 235, also in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The doors to both firehouses will be repaired.
The van then rammed the door of Engine 230 on Park Avenue and finally, Engine 210 in Fort Greene. The doors of both firehouses were extensively damaged
Engine company 210 missed a call to a medical emergency, and a call to the Brooklyn Navy yard, which turned out to be a false alarm. The medical emergency was handled by Emergency Medical Services.
No injuries were reported in any of the incidents, and no arrests have been made officials said.
