Fire dept. issues warning on e-mail requesting data

Boston Globe, June 23, 2002

<a href="http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/174/nation/Fire_dept_issues_warning_on_e_mail_requesting_data+.shtml">http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/174/nation/Fire_dept_issues_warning_on_e_mail_requesting_data+.shtml>

By Stephanie Gaskell, Associated Press, 6/23/2002

NEW YORK - The Fire Department has issued an internal memo warning
firefighters not to give out information about the department, in
response to e-mail inquiries from people at foreign universities about
emergency procedures.

The memo, distributed last week by Chief of Operations Sal Cassano,
cites a warning by the US Fire Administration's Critical Infrastructure
Protection Information Center.

The federal agency ''recently learned that fire and/or EMS departments
on the East Coast have received electronic mail from foreign
universities requesting information about how their department is
organized, trained, and equipped,'' says the memo, obtained by the
Associated Press.

It continues: ''The individuals are also asking for the identification
or locations of major response routes.''

Cassano warns FDNY personnel not to give out any information that
''could unintentionally assist the criminal activities of those who
desire to harm our nation.''

An FDNY spokesman, Frank Gribbon, called it a general warning with no
specific threat.

FBI spokesman Joe Valiquette would not comment on the memo, and calls to
the US Fire Administration and the Infrastructure Protection Information
Center were not immediately returned.

Earlier this week, a Middle Eastern maintenance worker who said he
wanted to buy a replica ambulance triggered a warning in New York and
New Jersey that terrorists might try to use emergency vehicles in an
attack.
