Believe it or not, the FDNY is putting this information out for a political reason. They are trying to get away with closing 20 fire companies for 15 hour shifts (at night). This is a cost-saving measure at a time when a lawsuit which prevents hiring (http://nydn.us/ag55My http://nydn.us/ag55My) is making staffing difficult and expensive. What the FDNY is not letting you know that firefighters are responding to more emergencies (medical, collapses, car-wrecks, etc.) than ever before. Also, that the night tours are when most fire fatalities occur. Sounds paranoid of me to see an agenda behind statistics, but this is a situation with which I have much familiarity.
