Like most cities and towns, the FDNY responds to various Emergencies throughout the year. In some cases, these incidents require the use of an All Hands or Greater Assignment.

It is time to give credit to the work that the FDNY members respond to beyond the numerous All Hands or Greater Alarm fires. In some cases, any one of these incidents would be Front Page Headline Stories in a local newspaper. We also appreciate the work that the members of this site do in taking the time to post the details of these various incidents.
