New York City Fire Department Rescue Company 1

The members of rescue companies receive extensive training in courses from the Special Operations Command (SOC) of the FDNY.

[1] Early versions of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) were first assigned to the rescue companies.

As technology evolved, the rescue companies pioneered the fire service application of artificial resuscitation techniques, SCBA, and firefighting foam.

The first officer in charge of Rescue Company 1 was then Captain John J. McElligott and Lieutenant Edwin A. Hotchkiss.

[3] In 2005, the section of West 43rd Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues where the company's firehouse is located was named Terence S. Hatton Way.
