Uniformed Firefighters Association President Stephen Cassidy said, “With this critical legislation, New York City Firefighters who put their lives on the line protecting the public will never have to worry about leaving themselves and their families destitute should they be seriously injured in the line of duty. All New Yorkers are now safer because of the restoration of these necessary benefits. I want to thank Gov. Cuomo for once again proving himself to be a great champion of New York’s Bravest.”
