I think this is just a few people thta can not let go and will try anything to get it back. I would say as of October 16th, 2006 the NYC Fire Patrol is dead. I do not think the city will help out as they did not when the patrol was still open and looking for the FDNY and the city to step in and keep the doors open that did not happen then and it will not happen now. The way I read the new site is that they are looking to do this as a volunteer thing with the hope of getting paid later on down the road I do not see the union let this happen. Just my 1.5 cents on this. P.S. I know alot of the guys that lost heir jobs when they closed up and most of them would not go back. Chris R.I.P. Keith Roma 9-11-2001 Fire Patrol # 2
