FDNY Response Time Getting Longer And Longer For The Tenth Month In A Row.
New York City firefighters are taking longer to reach their fires and their response times have gone up again.
Mayor Bloomberg and Fire Commissioner have been pressing firefighters to speed up. But at the same time they've been warning fire truck drivers about the risk of accidents.
The fire officers union blames the delays on a 12 percent increase in the number of emergency calls and they point to the city's closing of six engine companies.
