Speaking of Guns

Janet Mercereau, the widow of a Staten Island fire marshal, has been indicted in the murder of her husband. She has always been considered the prime suspect because “three bullets were fired from the fire marshal’s own service revolver issued by the FDNY. ”

Just one question: Why in the world does theĀ Fire Department get to issue guns to its members? Is there some advanced fire-fighting technique I don’t know about?
