Members of the Yonkers Uniformed Fire Officers Association have been working without a contract or a cost-of-living raise for seven years, the lohud story said.

In his speech, the mayor pointed out that millions have been invested in the city's fire department, including fire trucks and equipment, and plans for a new firehouse, the lohud story said.
