FDNY Fire trucks responding lights, sirens, air horns and Q-sirens compilation.
On May 2, 1865, New York City established the Metropolitan Fire Department (MFD) which became Fire Department City of New York in 1870. FDNY is the busiest fire department in the United States. In fact, FDNY responds to more working structural fires than the fire departments of Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston and Boston combined. In 2014, FDNY responded to 26,531 working structural fires and 15,512 non-structural fires. That's over 42,000 fires a year or 115 fires a day. Of these 42,000 fires, 2,307 of them were "All Hands" (major fires). In other words, FDNY handles, on average, over six All-Hands fires a day or one every four hours.

Los Angeles Fire Department, according to its website, had 8,068 structural fires in 2013. The Philadelphia Fire Department had 1,828 structural fires in 2007 and 1,796 structural fires in 2008 according to the department's own performance report. In 2010, the entire state of Texas had 20,595 structural fires -- less than New York City. According to a 2013 Boston Globe article, the Boston Fire Department had 40 "major fires" in 2012, down from 417 in 1975.
In the entire United States of America there were 487,500 structural fires in 2013 according to the National Fire Protection Association. If we use the 2014 statistics for FDNY (26,531 structural fires), we see that 5.44% of the total number of structural fires in the country occur in New York City alone. In other words, more than 1 out of 20 structural fires in the entire country occurs in New York City.
