NYS Office of Fire Prevention & Control NEW Website

[RWC130 594]

I was fwd this e-mail which I wanted to share with everyone.

Subject: New OFPC web address

I am pleased to announce that a simplified OFPC web address is now active:

http://www.dos.state.ny.us/fire

You are encouraged to share this new and simpler domain with the fire

service and public, as well as utilize it in written communications and

publications. It is expected that this easier to use (and remember)

address will result in increased traffic and use of our website.

Acting Chief, Bureau of Fire Prevention

Thanks for the correction. I was able to log in that way - not the nicest application to use but a wealth of information if you dig around.
