In the event of a fire, who must be notified?

In the event of a fire, notifying the FDNY (Fire Department of New York City) is critical because they are the primary emergency response agency designated to handle fire-related incidents. The FDNY is equipped with the appropriate resources, training, and authority to respond effectively to fires, ensuring public safety and minimizing property damage. Their prompt response can make a significant difference in the outcome of a fire emergency, potentially saving lives and controlling the fire's spread.

While other agencies, such as the police department, may respond to certain emergencies or assist in fire scenarios, they do not have the specialized training and equipment to combat fires directly. Similarly, the local community center and the environmental protection agency do not have the role or capability to respond to fire threats, making the notification of the FDNY paramount in any fire situation.
