Two NYFD Chiefs Arrested in Corruption Probe. 

Last Monday, two New York City Fire Department (NYFD) chiefs were arrested concerning an ongoing corruption investigation. According to a report in Newsweek Anthony Saccavino and Brian Cordasco are facing charges of bribery, making false statements, and wire fraud. The indictment against Saccavino and Cordasco alleges they accepted thousands of dollars in bribes for preferred treatment for specific individuals and companies. According to a report on ABC.com, they gave better fire safety inspections to entities willing to pay more. It is unclear what will happen next, but this could be the tip of the iceberg of corruption within the NYFD.
