City misleading public with FDNY response stats: report

The city is misleading the public with rosy statistics on how quickly firefighters get to emergencies, according to a new report released Monday by the Uniformed Firefighters Association.

 

Union officials charged the discrepancy is especially glaring in the Bronx, where the city claims in 2015 firefighters responded to medical emergencies in an average of 4 minutes and 44 seconds while it was actually 9 minutes and 6 seconds.

100% true!

 

They also leave out the part where they dispatch fire companies on initial reports without any information, leaving dispatchers little time to fill us in while we're reaponding.  All too frequently we'll hear the dispatcher say, "upon further interagation of the caller", meaning....the PD call taker finally let us ask the important stuff!
