This is NOT their permanent assignment. During this 14 week period, they will receive evaluations from each company's training officer. When released from their final 3 week session at the Rock, that is when they will be assigned to a firehouse. They will work in their home unit for one year, then go on rotation to a different company for one year. In effect, this shortens the overall rotation period by 8 months.
Street parking is very limited.
This seminar should not be confused with the seminar given by the Fire Department which is mandatory prior to retirement. The Fire Department seminar is generously given on a monthly basis and is held at the Fire Department Headquarters in Brooklyn. The seminar given by the UFA is open to all members periodically regardless as to whether they are retiring or not. Carolines, Blue Collar Comedy and Powerhouse Gym decided to sponsor a worthy benefit which would also guarantee you some laughs. Come see Mark DeMayo, Tommy Savitt, Wil, master of ceremonies Rich Voss, and support your FDNY brother.
