in case of emergency, NYC has a lane only for FDNY - "Fire Lane" which is in the center of the street. All vehicles must be cleared out of it. :D

and plus.... we have tons of fire stations anyway. I have heard few stations have been shut down due to budget issue and because of that - the response time will be increased for that area by several minutes.... which is kinda bad. oh well.....

The proper word is firefighters. "Firemen" was an old term, now that we have women firefighters it is proper to call them firefighters as a general term for both men and women firefighters.

And anyway, my dad is a firefighter (and so was my late grandfather as well), and he does not get weekends off. Instead, he works 72 hrs on/48 hrs off shifts. Which means he gets 2 straight days off for every 3 days straight that he's worked. He also gets to trade shifts with another firefighter if he wants more time off for traveling or whatever.

However, my dad works for the city of Milwaukee, WI, not FDNY so FDNY's schedule may be different.
