FDNY union speaks out against proposed cuts to department's budget

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Citizen video of last week’s fire at The Renwick Hotel on Manhattan’s East Side, drawing the attention of onlookers in neighboring buildings.

The FDNY managed to put out the flames in the kitchen - before the fire spread to hotel guest rooms or the connected building right next door.

Moses, who’s worked here for the last 27 years, said the damage could have been much worse.

“I’m not going back there because it’s a lot of smoke and all that,” said Moses.
