So what else is being done to help the homeless who are living at the airport . The Port Authority tells us its commissioned the volunteers of America Organization to approach the homeless every night to offer assistance, but it is usually refused. It says the outreach will, however, continue. The citys homeless problem extends far beyond laguardia airport. Today, the man the mayor tapped to fix it opened up about a possible solution.

Hundreds of active and retired firefighters in new york and new jersey say they are losing their hearing and they are now suing over sirens. Cbs 2s Tracy Carrasco has their story. Its part of living right now. Reporter its a job hazard Victor Carlucci never thought about. But after 21 years as an fdny firefighter, he says his hearing is gone and blames the loud sirens on the fire engines. [ sirens ] this for so long and knowing how loud it was. Reporter carlucci is now part of nearly 1500 firefighters and hundreds more across the country suing siren manufacturer federal signal for irreversible hearing loss. The firefighters claim the pitch and decibel level of the sirens is unreasonably dangerous and their attorney mark burn says these sirens are defective. It is not something the Fire Departments or municipalities have a responsibility for. Reporter the lawsuit also claims that federal signal could have designed these sirens to be safer while still functional, but chose not to. They could have directed the sound by using what we call a shroud. Reporter however, federal signal disagrees, telling us the claims that sirens are too loud and should be more directive dont make sense and that any changes would make the sirens less effective and subject the firefighters and general public to increased risk of serious accidents. While federal signal claims to Occupational Safety and Health Administration of 85decibels, a doctor of audiology says sirens can easily exceed that. 85decibels is busy city traffic and honestly some restaurants that we dine in. If you raise the volume like a siren or a subway, were well over 100decibels, sometimes approaching 120, and you really shouldnt be exposed to that amount of sound for more than a few seconds.
