	New York City Fire Department - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FDNY is the largest municipal Fire Department in the United States with 16,000 personnel and it faces an extraordinarily varied challenge.
		These were the first fire engines to be used in the American colonies, and all able-bodied citizens were required respond to a fire alarm and to participate in the extinguishing under the supervision of the Aldermen.
		Following several large fires in 1866 which resulted in excessive fire losses and a rise in insurance rates, the fire department was reorganized under the command of General Alexander Schaler, and with military discipline the paid department reached its full potential which resulted in a general reduction in fire losses.

	The New York City Fire Department
		Investigations of fires are conducted by the FDNY for a variety of reasons, including suspicion of arson, deaths, and injury to on-duty FDNY personnel.
		A complex set of rules determines when a fire company is available for a first responder call, and a fire unit responds to a medical emergency only if there are no other fire units in their area which are already involved in an emergency run.
		It would be preferable to connect future pay increase for firefighters to a real restructuring of the Fire Department and a substantial revision of the duties of the firefighter to place greater emphasis on fire prevention and education.
