NEW YORK — Police are investigating some tire slashings on Staten Island targeting the cars of firefighters.

The tires on three vehicles were slashed sometime Thursday night, CBS2’s Sonia Rincon reported. The Staten Island Advance snapped pictures of the personal cars of the firefighters who work at Engine 165/Ladder 85 on Richmond Road.

A section of Beacon Avenue in New Dorp is reserved for them, indicated by a sign and yellow line added in March. Neighbors such as Rachel Volpe can’t imagine why someone would target firefighters. “I think most of the neighbors are happy to have the Fire Department here,” she said. “And they have very little parking.”
