A MESSAGE FROM THE
OFFICE OF
THE FIRE COMMISSIONER

Fire fighting ranks as the nation’s most dangerous profession. 
America’s fire service personnel place their lives on the 
line every day protecting the safety and property of their fellow citizens.

As we move forward, in the aftermath of 9/11, the focal point of the 
Yonkers Fire Department will be the health and safety of our 
Fire Officers, Firefighters and Citizens. We will address 
these issues through state-of-the-art training programs and development 
of a labor/management team that will address any man-made or 
natural disaster that poses a threat to our firefighters or our country.

We hope that through these web pages we will be able to get 
our message out to members of the public and members of 
various Fire Departments. We believe that the fire service 
must take the initiative when it comes to public information and 
matters of safety for our members.

Through this Web Site, the Yonkers Fire Department will continue 
to periodically publish useful, informative, fire safety and 
fire prevention tips for the general public. We are dedicated to 
providing your families with necessary knowledge to help 
protect them from fire emergencies.

Please feel free to contact us with tips of your own, so that we may 
share them with others. We look forward to answering your 
questions and sharing information with you.

Fraternally,  

Anthony H. Pagano
Fire Commissioner
