Gowanus Lounge reports on a brewing conflict in the South Slope.
The disagreement comes from 11th Street, where neighbors are upset about plans to temporarily house another engine company in the firehouse that is home to Engine 220 and Ladder 122. The temporarily homeless fire company is Engine 239,
whose home base on Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street is being renovated.
The planned move–which will happen in about six weeks and last for
12-18 months–has drawn responses ranging from concern to outright
hostility from neighbors on 11th Street.
