I get so frustrated when agencies silo.
1:34:44
So it kinda got hinted at when I asked about the, perimeter of the parks that there is a hydrant.
1:34:50
So don't tell me there's no water because there's a hydrant.
1:34:52
So how can DEP, FDNY, and parks work together to produce fountains at the edge of the parks?
1:35:00
If it's an issue with trees, I understand that, issue with barricades of other kind, but there is a hydrant there, and that means water.
1:35:08
So what why can't we do that connection?
1:35:10
That'll be another follow-up.
