This act will protect fire fighters across New York and demonstrates that New York\u2019s leaders are aware of this important issue \u2013 and a willingness to take meaningful action on behalf of more than 18,000 professional fire fighters and the families that rely on them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
