McFADDEN or longer than anyone cares to remember, unseemly jurisdictional disputes between some New York City police officers and firefighters have led occasionally to angry words at rescue and recovery operations, sometimes to scuffling between the uniformed forces and even to arrests and charges of interference. Just two weeks ago, a firefighter involved in efforts to extricate a burglar trapped in a chimney in Queens said he was thrown down, handcuffed and arrested by a police officer for obstructing a crime scene. And on Wednesday night, the simmering tensions — often referred to as the Battle of the Badges — boiled over again, this time at the scene of a man's drowning in Newtown Creek on the border of Queens and Brooklyn, where fire and police scuba teams went into the water to search for the victim. Yesterday, the firefighters' union charged that a police officer had nearly killed a scuba-diving firefighter with a grappling hook and rope that dislodged his face mask, then entangled and dragged him to the bottom. Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said the firefighter had indeed been endangered. Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly vowed to investigate. And Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg warned that such episodes were unacceptable. "These are very serious charges," said a statement issued by his press secretary, Edward Skyler. "The mayor will be briefed by Commissioner Kelly when he completes his investigation, and he will impress upon the leadership of both departments that episodes such as alleged are completely intolerable." The history of Hatfield-and-McCoy feuding between some police officers and firefighters goes back decades. It arises mostly as a jurisdictional dispute at rescue operations, especially when no clear protocols exist for determining who should be in charge in a given situation. There have been efforts to minimize the problems. In May last year, in response to well-documented communications failures at the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 attack, the departments exchanged liaison officers and took steps to improve protocols. But flare-ups seem all but inevitable from time to time. In the latest case, a fire rescue unit and a police launch — both with scuba divers — responded at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to a report of a man missing in the water under the Pulaski Bridge, which spans Newtown Creek just east of the East River. Firefighter William Murphy of Rescue Company 4 was first in the water, according to Capt. Joseph Callan, who said the police launch arrived five minutes later and — against his warning — dropped the grappling hook. It struck the firefighter, who was dragged to the bottom after his face mask was knocked off. He swallowed some water, but managed to swim to the surface. Two hours later, the police team recovered the body of the missing man, Fredrick Darling, 54, of 21-10 Borden Avenue, Long Island City, Queens. He was clad in a T-shirt and shorts, and his death was under investigation, the police said. Stephen J. Cassidy, the president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, the firefighters' union, expressed outrage. "Last night, a firefighter attempting a water rescue could have been killed after an N.Y.P.D. officer showed flagrant disregard for the firefighter's safety, despite a warning," he said. Commissioner Scoppetta said at a news conference that a preliminary inquiry suggested that "this was a dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury to our firefighter." He said he had spoken to Commissioner Kelly and they had agreed "that there should be no competition in operations between the Fire Department and the Police Department." Mr. Scoppetta said the two departments were already close to agreeing on protocols. Mr. Kelly expressed some surprise at the firefighters' accusation. He said that until yesterday, there had been "no indication that this was anything but a well-run operation." "Obviously through the years we've had some friction," Mr. Kelly said. "This is an investigation that I think is important." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
