Firefighter personnel records found tossed on floor of condemned Yonkers firehouse

Posted on June 28, 2018 by Dissent

Christopher J. Eberhart reports:

Records containing firefighters’ personal information — including Social Security numbers, names, addresses and phone numbers — were found in the condemned firehouse in downtown Yonkers.

The personnel records were misfiled under the previous administration, according to Fire Commissioner Robert Sweeney, and left in the New School Street firehouse before the Yonkers Fire Department moved its headquarters to Nepperhan Avenue in 2011.

Two fire companies remained in the building until it was condemned in 2015. The old firehouse has since been closed off by chain-linked fencing.
