Fire box down

At some point in the last day or so, some driver apparently drove right up onto the new sidewalk extension at the corner of Bergen and Smith in Brooklyn. They hit and knocked down the fire signal box that had been installed there.

There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
