Under the Chief of Fire Operations, James Esposito, there is one Assistant Chief and four Deputy Assistant Chiefs who serve as Borough Commanders. Each is responsible for one of the five boroughs within New York City. Each Borough Commander commands the Deputy Division Chiefs and Battalion Chiefs within their respective borough.

Each borough is divided into 1-3 Divisions, or groupings of anywhere from 3-7 Battalions. Each Division is responsible for all of or a geographical section of a borough. Each Battalion is responsible for a geographical section of each Division. Each Battalion is further divided into individual firehouses that serve specific neighborhoods within each Battalion.

Each firehouse contains 1-3 fire companies. There are six different types of fire companies that operate six different types of fire apparatus, or "rigs". Each company serves a different and unique purpose at a fire or emergency. The six fire company types are: Engine Companies, Ladder (or Truck) Companies, Squad Companies, Rescue Companies, the Haz-Mat. Company, and Marine Companies.

Each individual fire company is commanded by a Captain and three Lieutenants. The Captain is in charge of that company's firehouse. In a firehouse that contains more than one fire company, the Captain assigned to the engine company is in charge of the firehouse. When a Captain is not on-duty, one of the three company Lieutenants commands the unit. Each company, depending on the specific unit (i.e. Engine, Ladder, Squad, Rescue, Haz-Mat.) is assigned 4 firefighters on Engine Companies with the fifth man or woman being the on-duty officer. Ladders, Squad, and the Rescue Companies staff the units with 5 firefighters per tour or shift, excluding the on-duty officer. During each tour, each firefighter is assigned a specific "riding position" on the company's apparatus that designates what task each member is to perform at the scene of a fire.[1]

Volunteer Fire Departments/Companies in New York City

There are nine volunteer fire departments in New York City that respond to calls in their neighborhood in addition to a normal assignment of FDNY units.

The nine volunteer fire departments are a supplement to the FDNY, however they have proven essential at particular incidents and during certain times. Such as during storms when flooding conditions prevented FDNY Companies from reaching alarms or with a delayed response. They are located in the more isolated neighborhoods of the city, which have geographical issues such as limited access, tight streets or large areas of brush, etc. Many of the members are also New York City employees including the FDNY, EMS and NYPD and/or reside in the response area of their department which benefits their service.

Typically the departments respond in addition to the initial assignment dispatched by the FDNY, The volunteer departments are fully trained and operational with the apparatus and equipment they have. Therefore, when they arrive to a scene first or when needed they will implement their operations alongside FDNY as applicable.

There is at least one volunteer fire department in every borough of the city except Manhattan.

Four of the volunteer companies in Queens and the one in Brooklyn also provide emergency medical/ambulance services.

The following is a list of all volunteer fire departments in the city of New York according to borough.

Bronx

Brooklyn

Queens

Broad Channel and West Hamilton Beach have teleprinters in parallel with the FDNY fire companies that also serve their area, They operate on their own frequency but will communicate with FDNY via the Queens Dispatch Frequency.
