...and and charges the Fire Commissioner and Chief with "shoddy performance."
STEPHEN J. CASSIDY
President of UFA said:
-"Chief Siegel's recommendations were totally ignored by the FDNY
"leadership" at 9 Metro Tech. Yet, no one had the
foresight to develop an alternate plan to protect our
firefighters should a serious fire take place in the
building."
-"public of a recommendation by former Chief of Department Peter Hayden made in March 2005
that the Department acquire a helicopter to help fight
hi-rise fires"
-"in an obvious attempt to gloss over their
failures, the Department leadership has decided to add a
third day of building inspections to an already
overburdened firefighter's workload. This fiasco is called
"Building Inspection Safety Program (BISP)".
-"It is clear that a separately trained and staffed Task Force is
necessary to effectively address the need for proper fire
inspections. Not only is this so-called "new" program an
inadequate response to the need for better and thorough
building inspections, it will also most certainly increase
response times to fires and other emergencies. "
