====Tweed New Haven Airport====
===Staff Chiefs===
*Tweed New Haven Airport is a regional airport owned by the City but operated by a private company. It is in the Morris Cove Section of New Haven and borders the neighboring town of East Haven. All fire protection and crash rescue service was provided by New Haven up until the mid 90's by Fox 1, that operated out of the same fire house as Engine 16. Fire Protection was then transferred to the company operating the airport who built a Fire Station on the airport grounds and purchased their own ARFF Trucks. Fox 1 was also transferred to the Airport Management Company at that time where it remained in storage as a spare until 2012 when it was returned to the city. Fox 1 was then completely refurbished by the NHFD Shops and currently serves as Car 44 the departments front line foam / Purple K unit. Currently operated are two Airport Crash Rescue Units (1 active - 1 spare/reserve) cross staffed by airport maintenance personnel during the day time hours Monday - Saturday with fire protection being supplemented by both the New Haven Fire Department and East Haven Fire Department for major incidents. Both Departments along with the airport fire department conduct a large scale mass casualty drill every two years together. US Airways is currently the only commercial airline operating out of tweed, offering daily flights from New Haven to Philadelphia. There are also many private conventional and jet aircraft operated from Tweed. Tweed New Haven Airport is also a popular destination during the Yale University graduation every year, where you can find many corporate and private jets at the airport. Air Force 1 has landed at Tweed several times over the years when presidents like John F Kennedy, Bill Clinton, George W Bush Along with many others were visiting Yale and the southern Connecticut area, the most recent being Barack Obama who landed in Air Force 1, which was utilizing Boeing 757 at the time do to the airports shorter runway, President Obama has also landed and departed Tweed on Marine 1 which consisted of a convoy of Sikorsky VH-3D "Sea King" Helicopters, Sikorsky VH-60N "White Hawk" Helicopters and Boeing VH-22 "Ospreys" Tilt-Rotor Aircraft from Marine Helicopter Squadron 1 (HMX-1).

The NHFD provides advanced life support and basic life support emergency medical services to the city with three paramedic-staffed Emergency Units. EMS transport services are contracted by the city to American Medical Response which provides response to medical emergencies with Basic Life Support (EMT) and Advanced Life Support (EMT-Paramedic) ambulances.

As of 2016 the NHFD has received an ISO Class 1 rating, making New Haven the third department in Connecticut (the other two being Hartford, CT and Milford, CT) with an ISO Class 1 rating and 1 of 60+/- departments in the country. James T. Mullen was fire commissioner for 13 years.

Controversy

Main article: Ricci v. DeStefano

In 2009 eighteen city firefighters, seventeen of whom were white and one of whom was Hispanic, brought suit against the department under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 after they had passed the test for promotions to management positions and the city declined to promote them. New Haven officials invalidated the test results because none of the black firefighters scored high enough to be considered for the positions. City officials stated that they feared a lawsuit over the test's disproportionate exclusion of certain racial groups from promotion under the controversial "disparate impact" theory of liability.
