On Monday, city firefighters will be the latest group to protest Mayor Eric Adams' across-the-board budget cuts.

In a Monday morning interview with Good Day New York, Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, said the city implemented a reduction in firefighters on some trucks from five to four to save $1million per month.

Twenty units, with 78 firefighters, responded to 1440 Bronx River Ave., between E. 174th St. and Cross Bronx Expressway in the Soundview section, the FDNY said.

Hiriam Borrero-Echevarria died in the blaze that erupted around 7 p.m. Sunday on the 10th floor of the 14-story building within NYCHA’s Bronx River Houses, between East 174th Street and the Cross Bronx Expressway, authorities said.

The cutbacks are expected to save about $8 million, according to union officials.

Five people were stabbed to death, another person is critical and two NYPD police officers were slashed before the alleged attacked was shot by police and died in an incident at a multi-family home on Beach 22nd St. in Far Rockaway on Dec. 3.
