looking very sharp in his suit is captain mike dlan. thank you. he's been a great leader.nvesting and advocating for public safety. he has always done so and it's very much appreciated. admittedly it's been a stormy period, no doubt about it but i'm happy to report that this storm is clearing and the fire department is heading in the right direction in terms of funding. it has been nearly a decade where we've had to reduce our operating budget and it's been very difficult. i'm very proud of the men and women of the fire department who have maintained their professionalism and dedication over the time. we have been able to provide services with reduced budgets. we are very excited to hear about the mayor's announcement and it came from a lot of teamwork. teamwork no. 1 to get this station built in record time and a beautiful facility. if you are interested in touring we are doing this right after this and all of those who took part in station 48, department of public works and department of building inspection and partnership with the dem making sure that's where it starts
