New York City is the most populated city in the United States. UFADBA members answer emergency calls for over 8 million citizens in the Bronx,Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. As public servants, we receive and process thousands of calls per day. Our response time is faster than anywhere else. Although we are invisible to the public, saving lives begins with us. During your time of crisis, we are the voice of strength dispatching the fire apparatus and other resources to handle your emergency. We also have members who respond along with fire apparatus to major emergencies and events. Our ability to remain calm under pressure along with our training, knowledge, and professionalism sets us apart. 

I hope our Members find the information contained in this website informative and educational as well as a good resource tool to be informed of their rights as Public Employees, and I hope the public finds information on this website to be insightful as to who our members are, what we do, and the valuable essential task we perform every day.
