Six New York firefighters were suspended for four weeks without pay Friday following an incident between on-duty firefighters and an elected official's staff, according to a statement from a New York City Fire Department (NYFD) spokesperson.
The firefighters drove a fire engine to New York state Senator Zellnor Myrie's office in Brooklyn in protest of the city's Covid-19 vaccine mandate, a spokesperson for the senator's office told CNN Sunday.
Members of the fire department, the New York Police Department and other city workers were required to show proof they've received at least one vaccine dose by 5 p.m. Friday or face unpaid leave, under a mandate implemented by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
