New York Fire Patrol

Their original mission was two-fold: to discover fires and to prevent losses to insured properties.

During the fire the Patrol would spread canvas salvage covers, remove water, operate elevators, and secure utilities.

Throughout their history, 32 patrolmen died in the line of duty, including Keith M. Roma, Badge 120, on September 11, 2001.

The New York Fire Patrol became the last of all the Insurance supported salvage corps to operate in the United States.

In 2010, it was reported that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper purchased the former house of Fire Patrol 2 in Greenwich Village for $4.3 million.
