NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Protesters who woke up to the chill Friday morning were greeted by fire officials conducting a safety inspection of Zuccotti Park.

The FDNY were looking for safety violations. At issue: Propane tanks and gas generators being used to keep the protesters warm. The inspection, involving dozens of firefighters, was overseen by Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano.

Protesters turned over six generators and a dozen of gasoline cans, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. He reiterated that the protesters can stay as long as they want, provided that they follow the law. Bloomberg spoke on his weekly radio show on WOR.

Some protesters say their generators aren’t a danger to the park or to the people living there.

Safety first. The snowstorm is gonna feel a bit colder. That's a shame.

“He reiterated that the protesters can stay as long as they want, provided that they follow the law.”

So ANYBODY can camp out overnight anytime they want? I did not know the law in NYC was so open and free!

[rhombus]

Damn those regulations. ;-)

Gas generators and propane heaters? Every time they start the engine a polar bear dies. So sad.

Welcome to a taste of the world you're trying to achieve, moron. Lots of laws don't make any sense - that's why big government sucks.

Now get the health inspectors to measure the distance between the open air sewers and the food prep areas and shut down the food production.

Hey dumb@$$ demonstrators they aren’t worried about a fire in the park they are worried about all of those buildings that surround you.IIRC generators and gas cans are not allowed in the borough of Manhattan.

hey protestors...that's not for you to decide. That's for the government to decide (snark)

[SuzyQue]

Whew. I’m glad they’re keeping the OWS’ers safe. Cold, but safe.

Good to know for the homeless -

Where’s your solar energy now, eco-commies?

[bigbob]

As the weather cools off and this ceases to be so much fun, just watch for these Occupiers to try to provoke a “Kent State” kind of violent reaction that they can propagandize about. I would not put it past the hardcore leftists to do almost anything.

of course it’s free. You can even rape women and sell crack in the open like what they’ve been doing for the past week.

HA! Let them use solar and wind generators!

Save the planet! One moonbat at a time...

Someone pls call Algore !!

OWS want their Global Warming!

When do they want it? NOW!!

[rockrr]

Excellent point. Why aren’t the eco-Luddites being called out for their global warmist tendencies?!

[Tex-Con-Man]

Has Bloomy checked the protester's sodium intake? Or is that just for the 1%ers?
