Citywide 911

Citywide 911 is an online news site that covers crime and fire emergencies throughout the five boroughs of New York City. Over the past several years, some of the prominent NYC stories we have covered include an attempted suicide bombing in a subway tunnel near the Port Authority Bus Terminal, a terrorist attack in Tribeca and a historically deadly fire in the Bronx that killed 12 people. Although we are proud to have played a role in informing the public about these events that drew international attention, we are even more so of our coverage of stories that were missed by major news outlets. Since many large news organizations often cover a wide range of events, they pick and chose which incidents they believe will appeal to a wide audience. Several outlets that covered smaller crime and fire incidents in NYC closed down in 2017, leaving a void in coverage. It is our goal to help fill that void and keep New Yorkers informed about significant events happening in the communities they live in.
