FDNY Fight Fire in Harlem above Bentas Funeral Home

The contrast between the relationship with the community is radically different with the fire department and NYPD. The FDNY provides a service that is supportive and compassionate. NYPD is the complete opposite.

We recognize the work of the FDNY which, by its nature, is caring and directed towards saving lives. However, the hiring practices of FDNY is patently racist. The recent decision in favor of the Vulcans, awarding them millions in compensation for the impact of the FDNY's racist hiring practice, may eliminate those racist practices. We at All Things Harlem applaud the court's decision.
