About

City Fire Department

Individuals working in central stations reporting fires occurring within the five boroughs of New York City must hold a Certificate of Fitness for Operator of Central Station Signaling Systems (F-40).



Central stations are operated by firms that furnish, maintain and supervise alarm signal monitoring services. Firms that have been issued a valid certificate of operation receive signals from alarms and relay the information to the appropriate services, such as fire alarm signals to the NYC Fire Department (FDNY). Central stations serve businesses or properties that subscribe to alarm monitoring services.

This Certificate of Fitness is valid only at a specific location and for the specific person to whom it is issued.
