	FDNY - History of Fire Service
		The volunteer Fire Department continued to protect the lives and property of the citizens of the city until after the close of the Civil War when, in 1865, they were superseded by the paid Metropolitan Fire Department.
		New Year's day 1898 heralded the consolidation of the different areas of the city and the beginning of a new era for the Fire Department.
		The department is administered by the Fire Commissioner appointed by and responsible to the Mayor.

	1 No. 13: In the Matter of The New York Times Company, et al. v. City of New York Fire Department (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Fire Department contends that the privacy exception applies to the portions of the 911 calls that are in dispute; that the intra-agency exception applies to the disputed portions of the dispatch calls; and that both these exceptions apply to portions of the oral histories.
		Recognizing this, the Fire Department does not challenge the lower courts' rulings that the words of the eight relatives of the intervenors be disclosed, and has assured us that it will honor similar requests made in the future by the families of other September 11 callers.
		A Fire Department dispatcher who believes that a rescue operation is being badly handled should feel free to say so without the concern that a tape of his or her remarks will be made public.

	Looking For A Fire Department That Looks Like New York
		According a survey of the New York Police Department by the public advocate, 18 percent of police officers are Latino (compared to 3.2 percent in the Fire Department who are Latino), 17 percent African American (3.8 percent fls in the Fire Department) and 15 percent women (0.3 percent women in the Fire Department).
		The New York Times reported that the group also found that the $400 cost of required defibrillator training is a barrier to some low-income applicants and recommended that the city pay for the class.
		The Fire Academy graduation class in November 2000, which included 139 Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedics tapped for promotion to the Fire Department, was 2.9 percent Asian, 10.7 percent fl, 14.3 percent Hispanic and 4 percent female.

	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.

		But he was, arguably, a typical New York Franciscan -- earthy, streetwise, thoroughly engaged with the characters and chaos of the city.
