The Post had a short piece this morning about the city’s plan to sell five firehouses that is has shuttered in recent years. In addition to two in Manhattan and one in Queens, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services filed paperwork with City Planning on Oct. 4 to sell Engine 212 (Williamsburg) and Engine 204 (Cobble Hill) in Brooklyn. Both engine companies were closed in 2003 amidst fierce protest by neighborhood residents.
