I think we're meeting several of the primary objectives.
0:18:49
The first objective obviously is to keep our members safe and to keep New York City residents safe.
0:18:59
And we are working hard to do that in many ways.

I also wanted to take a CEO's look at the FDNY coming from the business community for twenty five years.
0:19:13
And we have done a very, very thorough look at the FDNY from A to Z.
0:19:19
And we've identified areas that are working really well and we've identified areas that need more attention and we're giving that attention where required.
0:19:30
So I think we're on a good track thus far.
0:19:33
It's two fourteen days into it.

And I feel like we've established a very solid team, many of whom are here today, and I thank them for their support.
