May 5, 2025
The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker today announced the release of the Department's 2025 Strategic Plan. The plan will serve as a comprehensive roadmap for the future of the Department inclusive of forward-thinking goals and initiatives to help ensure the FDNY remains the nation's premier all-hazards emergency response agency. The strategic plan will also help guide policy and operational improvements to continue bringing the department into the 21st century.
The Strategic Plan focuses on four critical areas:
- Integrating Fire and EMS Operations
- Strategies to Reduce Medical Response Times
- Enhancing Public Safety for New Yorkers and Visitors
- Investing in Members
"The 2025 Strategic Plan is a fabulous tool for the FDNY to map its future as an all-hazards emergency response agency," said Fire Commissioner Robert S. Tucker. "We are focused on integrating Fire and EMS, on reducing medical response times, and investing in our members' health and safety. In 2025, our Department is strong and we remain steadfast in our mission of saving life and property, and we are better trained and more prepared than ever. The initiatives in this plan will prepare us for good days and bad, and any challenges that come our way, and allow us to continue to be the Best and Bravest for decades to come."
The Strategic Plan was created by uniformed and civilian members, as well as executive staff. The first Strategic Plan was released in 2004, built upon recommendations made post 9/11 in the McKinsey Report.
