Organization of the New York City Fire Department


The New York City Fire Department, like most fire departments around the world, is organized in a paramilitary fashion. Its organizational structure includes regional commands for various geographic areas within its jurisdiction, operational commands for units of different functions, and administrative units and offices for various administrative functions.
Beneath that hierarchy are the individual units and uniformed personnel which carry out the missions and responsibilities of the fire department, which includes the primary role of emergency response and firefighting, as well as a range of other roles and duties.

Personnel

Executive Staff

The Department's executive staff is divided into two areas including a civilian fire commissioner who is in charge of the Department and a Fire Chief who is the operational lead. The current Fire Commissioner is Daniel A. Nigro and the current Chief of Department is John Sudnik. The 28-member executive staff includes the civilian deputy commissioners who are responsible for administrative bureaus within the Department, along with the Chief of Department, Chief of Fire Operations, Chief of EMS, Chief Fire Marshal, Chief of Training and other staff chiefs. Staff chiefs include the seven citywide tour commanders, the Chief of Fire Prevention, and the Chief of Safety.

Fire Operations

Under the Chief of Department, John Sudnik, there are three Assistant Chiefs and two Deputy Assistant Chiefs who serve as Borough Commanders. Each Borough Commander is responsible for one of the five boroughs within New York City. Each Borough Commander commands the Deputy Division Chiefs and Battalion Chiefs within their respective boroughs.
Each borough is divided into 1-3 Divisions, and within each division 3-7 Battalions operate. Each Division is responsible for all of or a geographical section of a borough. Each Battalion is responsible for a geographical section of each Division. Each Battalion is further divided into individual firehouses that serve specific neighborhoods within each Battalion. Each Division is commanded by a Deputy Division Chief and each Battalion is commanded by a Battalion Chief.
Each firehouse contains 1-3 fire companies. There are six different types of fire companies that operate six different types of fire apparatus, or "rigs". Each company serves a different and unique purpose at fires or other emergencies. The six fire company types are Engine Companies, Ladder Companies, Squad Companies, Rescue Companies, Haz-Mat Company, and Marine Companies.
Each individual fire company is commanded by a Captain and three Lieutenants. The Captain is in charge of that company's firehouse. In a firehouse that contains more than one fire company, the Captain assigned to the engine company is in charge of the firehouse. When a Captain is not on-duty, one of the three company Lieutenants commands the unit. Each company, depending on the specific unit have the following assignments: There are 4 firefighters on Engine Companies with the fifth man or woman being the on-duty officer. Ladder Companies, Squad Companies, and the Rescue Companies staff the units with 5 firefighters on each tour or shift, excluding the on-duty officer. During each tour, each firefighter is assigned a specific "riding position" on the company's apparatus that designates what task each member is to perform at the scene of a fire or other emergency situations.

EMS Division 5 serves Southern Brooklyn and Staten Island.
There are nine volunteer fire departments in New York City that respond to calls in their neighborhood in addition to a normal assignment of FDNY units.
The nine volunteer fire departments are a supplement to the FDNY, however they have proven essential at particular incidents and during certain times. Such as during storms when flooding conditions prevented FDNY Companies from reaching alarms or with a delayed response. They are located in the more isolated neighborhoods of the city, which have geographical issues such as limited access, tight streets or large areas of brush, etc. Many of the members are also New York City employees including the FDNY, EMS and NYPD and/or reside in the response area of their department which benefits their service.
Typically the departments respond in addition to the initial assignment dispatched by the FDNY. The volunteer departments are fully trained and operational with the apparatus and equipment they have. Therefore, when they arrive to a scene first or when needed they will implement their operations alongside FDNY as applicable.
There is at least one volunteer fire department in every borough of the city except Manhattan.
Four of the volunteer companies in Queens and the one in Brooklyn also provide emergency medical/ambulance services.
The following is a list of all volunteer fire departments in the city of New York according to borough.

Bronx

Broad Channel and West Hamilton Beach have teleprinters in parallel with the FDNY fire companies that also serve their area. They operate on their own frequency but communicate with FDNY via the Queens Dispatch Frequency.
The Staten Island volunteer companies are dispatched by the Staten Island Communications Office and operate on their own frequency but communicate with FDNY via the Staten Island Dispatch frequency.
Throughout the history of the New York City Fire Department, there have been many fire companies disbanded due to budgetary cutbacks or departmental reorganization.
