The Fire Department of the City of New York offers multiple resources to help those seeking to join the ranks of the FDNY. Online candidate resources are currently available for those seeking employment as New York City Firefighters. Please note:
Firefighter Candidates with list numbers from 1 to 9,187 have been contacted to resume processing, which includes scheduling medical exam appointments. To help prepare for the medical exam, including the new Stairmill Test, we encourage you to review the information below or on the Candidate Portal.
The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and the FDNY have started processing candidates who received a score of 96 percent or higher on Exam #7001. The current round of testing for 96 percent test scorers and retest approved candidates starts in May of 2024.
If you receive a notice in the mail, but are unable to attend your physical test date, you may reschedule for another test date during specific times during that round of testing by calling (718) 937-4721.
While at the FDNY Training Academy, Firefighter Candidates undergo 18 weeks of intensive work. Overall grades at the Fire Academy include an assessment of in-class exams, academics and physical fitness performance.
To help Firefighter Candidates succeed, the Fire Department offers a series of videos on: Understanding the FDNY Candidate Medical Evaluation Process, Probationary Firefighter School, How to Read an FDNY Document Correctly, Effective Study Habits, How to Perform Better on FDNY Exam, An Overview of Physical Fitness Standards and two Probationary Firefighters School Physical Training Videos.
A wildfire can burn almost anywhere on the landscape. It can move quickly through open grassy meadows and creep up steep, rocky mountains. Wind can drive fire many different directions and dramatically affect wildfire behavior. A wildfire is capable of jumping rivers and roads and can cross any boundary; natural or manmade. It can cross state lines, agency boundaries and even burn from one country to another.
Due to the nature of wildfire and the need to manage it, we use a variety of different resources. Some work better in certain fuel types and terrain. Others are best utilized in certain parts of the country. All of these resources can work together in different combinations to assist managing wildfires.
The National Interagency Fire Center is committed to making its information and communication technologies accessible to individuals with disabilities by meeting or exceeding the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. To meet this commitment, we continue to monitor and update our content to make sure our documents meet these standards.
The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) provides access, with minimal delay, to satellite imagery, active fire/hotspots, and related products to identify the location, extent, and intensity of wildfire activity. FIRMS tools and applications provide geospatial data, products, and services to support the broader fire management community and to inform the general public. Global data are available within 3 hours of satellite observation; U.S. and Canada active fire detections are available in real-time.
Each MODIS active fire/thermal hotspot location represents the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel. Combined (Terra and Aqua) MODIS NRT active fire products (MCD14DL) are processed using the standard MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies algorithm.
MODIS Collection 61 has been available since April 2021. C61 processing does not contain any change to the science algorithm; the update is from changes and enhancements to the calibration approach used in the generation of the Terra and Aqua MODIS Level 1B products. For further details on C61 calibration changes and other changes user is encouraged to refer to the pdf summarizing Collection 6.1 specific changes. For the most up to date information, please refer to the MODIS Collection 6 and 6.1 Version 1.0 Active Fire Product User's Guide (updated May 2021).
Each VIIRS active fire/thermal hotspot location represents the center of a 375m pixel. The VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas and has improved nighttime performance. Read more on VIIRS Active Fire products.
Boulder Housing Partners - If you were displaced by the fire, and are looking for housing options with Boulder Housing Partners, please complete the Housing Interest Form on the Boulder Housing Partners website to have someone reach out to you about your housing needs.
Boulder County Down Payment Assistance - The Boulder County Down Payment Assistance Program provides down payment and closing cost assistance to first-time homebuyers purchasing a home in Boulder County (outside of the city limits of Boulder). Up to 10% of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $40,000 may be borrowed.
Colorado Housing Assistance Corporation - CHAC provides low interest, flexible loans to low and moderate (80% AMI) income first time home buyers for down payment and closing cost assistance throughout Colorado.
Boulder Area Rental Housing Association - This webpage is only meant to be a way to show available properties to residents who were impacted by the fires and need housing and is for informational purposes only. Property owners will be solely responsible for qualifying, interviewing and communicating with prospective tenants. Please conduct your own due diligence prior to signing a lease agreement.
The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) distributes Near Real-Time (NRT) active fire data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua and Terra satellites, and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard S-NPP, NOAA 20 and NOAA 21 (formally known as JPSS-1 and JPSS-2). Globally these data are available within 3 hours of satellite observation, but for the US and Canada active fire detections are available in real-time.
NASA FIRMS uses satellite observations from the MODIS and VIIRS instruments to detect active fires and thermal anomalies and deliver this information in near real-time to decision makers through email alerts, analysis ready data, online maps and web services.
Letters were mailed out on June 12, 2023 to all Oak Fire survivors whose property had debris removal costs paid by the County. Each letter includes a parcel-specific invoice of what the County paid for debris removal for each property as tracked by our damage response contractor. Survivors who DID NOT have debris removal insurance do not have to pay or take other action - the invoice is just informational. Survivors who DID have debris removal insurance only need to reimburse the County for the amount allowed by their insurance company. If the bottom-line costs exceeds what is covered for debris removal, survivors are not responsible for the difference. Before paying this difference, please review your parcel-specific invoice. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lynn at 209-966-3222 as soon as possible.
Important Note: It has come to our attention that costs in three categories on the invoices dated 6/1/2023 - hazard tree, vehicle debris removal, and property owner assistance - were incorrectly switched with each other. This happened when the cost file was merged into the invoices. Cost corrections have now been made to those categories, but the overall debris removal total for your property remains the same. We apologize for the increased confusion and stress this has caused. Please note, the bottom-line costs will not change but the labels for work will be corrected. Again, if you have any concerns regarding your invoice, please contact Lynn at 209-966-3222 as soon as possible.

After a catastrophic wildfire, quick action must be taken to minimize social, environmental and economic devastation. Responsive action requires navigating a complex maze of diverse landowners, community organizations and numerous local and federal requirements.
This page is intended to provide website links containing valuable post-fire recovery and restoration information.
