Description

Since the earliest years of city history, New York’s firefighters have put their lives on the line to protect its citizens from fire. Written by an expert on Fire Department history, this book documents the evolution of city firefighting from the earliest bucket brigades through to the post 9/11 Department, largely through the collection of the Museum. The F.D.N.Y. is the United States’ largest and most storied fire department. Filled with full-color photographs of firefighting equipment, memorabilia, and notable fires, F.D.N.Y. tells the story of the New York City Fire Department from the Colonial era through the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center to today. Based on the unparalleled collection of the New York City Fire Museum, F.D.N.Y. documents New York’s “Bravest” as they have fought fires, including the Great Fire of 1835 and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, in a challenging and constantly changing city. For the 150th anniversary of the department’s founding, the second edition of F.D.N.Y. adds 16 pages on the department’s improvements since 9/11. Packed with photos showing how firefighters are dealing with 21st century threats such as the continuing challenge of terrorism, the 2003 Blackout, and Hurricane Sandy. 182 Color & B&W Illustrations
