Since the 9/11 attacks, serious incidents and fires–coupled with the subsequent recommendations from studies and Task Forces, resulting in changes to the Building and Fire Codes–the Bureau of Fire Prevention has developed a number of new initiatives. The newly created Emergency Planning and Preparedness Section includes the Emergency Action, Fire Safety and Fire Protection Plan […]
The Bureau of Fleet Services (BFS) was instrumental in FDNY’s recovery from 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. The Department continues to move forward with Fleet Services facilitating that progress. BFS has a staff of 229, operates two primary (46-67 34th Street and 30-30 Review Avenue in Long Island City, Queens) and three satellite (Building 6 at […]
Since 2002, the Department’s facility portfolio has been a primary player in rebuilding the FDNY. While the Bureau of Facilities Management (BFM) continued normal operations, dramatic work was performed to address new priorities brought on by 9/11. The Marine 9 ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on May 10, 2012. A “green” building, this new firehouse boasts […]

The mission of BHS–to ensure that members remain healthy, prevent illnesses, address injuries and keep members safe–remains. On 9/11, FDNY members–active and retired–responded to the World Trade Center (WTC) site […]
From the start, 2001 was shaping up as a very bad year for the FDNY. By the summer, the Department had lost seven members in the line of duty, including three Firefighters who died in an explosive fire in Queens on June 17, Father’s Day. But nothing could have prepared the Department for September 11th, […]
