In collaboration with the New York City Fire Museum , each month we spotlight interesting facts, tools, and people of the FDNY who were the “First” to make history. In the latest installation of our FDNY Firsts series, we take a look the Halligan tool that was created in the 1940’s by FDNY Deputy Chief Hugh Halligan. Versions of the Halligan are still used by fire departments around the world. | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)
