NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Mayor Eric Adams signed a package of bills on Monday to boost diversity within the FDNY.
The bills aim to address recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups within the department, as well as requiring the implementation of diversity, inclusion, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training.
Among other things, the FDNY will be required to survey each firehouse for mixed-gender upgrades as well as submit an annual report on complaints filed with the FDNY's Equal Employment Opportunity office.
"Our FDNY frontline heroes keep our city safe day in and day out, and today we take another step to strengthen and support New York City’s Bravest," Adams said in a statement. "New York City's diversity is our strength, and these five bills will help build a more inclusive FDNY that is reflective of the millions of New Yorkers we serve."

Are you a fat male over 40 years old that no longer qualifies to be a firefighter?
Don't fret!
Buy a wig, start taking estrogen, change your pronouns and re-apply. Guaranteed hire. If they try to deny you? Just scream about it on twitter until media picks up on it. In the end you will be hired.
"Di'annishia'ante, get up that ladder and rescue the lady in the burning room!"
*sucks teeth, "I thought I TOLD you, I jus had my nails done and I'm not about to break them climbing no ladder and that lady is panicking and she liable to rip my weave out and I ain't havin' it."
Our hero Firemen and Policemen deserve the greatest respect.
To be fair ,The Finest and the Bravest are adjectives that can be passed on to many
private sector jobs that have never gotten the credit they deserve.
For the sake of everything that is good I hope this diversity bill measures the size of a man's errrr..........but I'll call it heart for the sake of inclusion.
this same thing is everywhere these days. It's the definition of toxic. Now people cant choose what they want to do, you have to go where there is an open slot of your "race" and "gender". Super toxic.
