TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2014 • 12 POLS: ADD WOMEN TO FDNY City Council Member Elizabeth Crowley and the United Women Firefighters (UWF) organization made the plea during a press conference on the City Hall steps moments prior to a scheduled joint hearing between Fire Department officials and the City Council’s Contracts, Fire and Justice and Women’s Issues committees. According to Crowley, only 44 female firefighters work for the FDNY, which has 10,500 personnel. Last Wednesday’s hearing was to address the disparity and consider legislation (Intro. No. 579, sponsored by City Council Member Helen Rosenthal) which would require the Fire Department to provide further information to city lawmakers about the firefighter applicant pool based on race and gender. “It’s time to shatter any barriers that still exist for physically fit, qualified women to become New York City firefighters,” said Crowley, who chairs the Fire and Criminal Justice Committee and co-chairs the City Council’s Women’s Commissioner: We’re Working To Change by Robert Pozarycki With women making up a miniscule percentage of the Fire Department’s workforce, local elected officials called on the city’s Bravest last Wednesday, Dec. 10, to bring more females into their ranks. -SEEWOMEN ON PG. 62- During a City Hall press conference last Wednesday, Dec. 10, City Council Member Elizabeth Crowley (at podium) called on the Fire Department to recruit and hire additional female firefighters.
