They were three and a half hours into their protest of the mayor’s budget- related shutdown of six firehouses — and of Engine 204 on Degraw Street in particular — and the situation seemed to be moving toward a standstill. All but three of the firefighters they had blocked from leaving the building in this gesture of civil disobedience had just escaped out a back-alley exit. The police seemed comfortable observing from a safe distance, and the hundreds of support- ers standing and chanting in front of the firehouse were slowly losing their steam. That’s when Marian Fontana, whose husband, Lt. David Fontana, was killed at the World Trade Center as a member of ’s elite Squad 1 rescue crew, remembered that she had David’s old firehouse key. “I kept it on my [key] ring, for nostalgia more than anything,” Fontana said. “[And] it occurred to me as I was standing in front of the door that I could eas- ily go in and maybe that would speed the process up a bit.” Wearing her husband’s FDNY jean jacket, Fontana sent word down the line — which included City Councilman Bill DeBlasio, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, and actor and former firefighter Steve Buscemi, a Park Slope resi- dent — that she was about to open the locked red firehouse door. Millman captured the sentiment of the response that Fontana received: “We said all along that we would do whatever it took.” At 11:15 am, on the day before Memorial Day, the firehouse door flew See E-204 on page 4 Survivor’s tears reflect pain of / Tom Callan / Tom station closings By Yoav Gonen

The station, which housed Engine 204, was closed down Sunday despite efforts of concerned citizens, some of who occupied the firehouse briefly. lish skills prevented her from saying. Sitting face to face for the first time with the firefighters, emergency med- ical technicians and hospital paramedics who resuscitated her after she went into cardiac arrest on Dec. 27, 2001, she was overcome with emotion. “I felt happy today,” Massa said later, speaking in Spanish. “My heart was beating strong.” Massa, 70, a native of Puerto Rico, was one of six victims of cardiac arrest who were reunited with their saviors at the Fire Department’s ninth annual “Second Bridge shines despite rain Chance Brunch” in Downtown Brooklyn last Tuesday. The May 20 event offered the rare opportunity, in these times of budget cuts and imminent firehouse closings, for Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services personnel to celebrate both By Deborah Kolben their hard work and cooperation, and more importantly, to celebrate life. and Yoav Gonen But the event was particularly meaningful for the Cobble Hill firefighters sit- The Brooklyn Papers ting at the table with Massa, who witnessed her tears, which told half the story, while the white button pinned to the lapel of her black blazer told the rest.

Brooklyn, state Sen. Marty Golden visited a car dealership in Bay Ridge that had been gutted by an electrical fire. While none of the shuttered firehouses are located in his district, Golden said the closing of Engine Company 278 in nearby Sunset Park was a “matter of life and death” for his community, which stretches across southern Brooklyn, because that firehouse is a backup for those in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights.
