Applause for NYPD, FDNY after routine response in Bensonhurst
It was a call so minor that the city has just the barest record of it in its data bases. But spectators were impressed with the professionalism shown by police and fire rescue units, which went beyond the call of duty during the course of their workday.
NYPD, fire and FDNY EMS units were called to the waterfront of Caesar’s Bay in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn on Sunday, October 5 around 10 a.m., after receiving reports of a boat stuck in the riptide on the rocks.
In dry, unblemished language, FDNY reports that “the person was removed from the water and evaluated – refusing medical attention,” and NYPD reports there were “no injuries” and “the boat was towed.”
