NEW YORK (AP) - A day after police and fire officials clashed over how to respond to biological, chemical or radiological attacks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned that anyone who doesn't follow the city's new emergency protocol will be out of a job.
"We're going to have everybody working together to protect the people of the City of New York, and anybody who doesn't feel that they can do that doesn't have to, but they just can't work here," Bloomberg told reporters on Tuesday.
He did not say he planned to fire Peter Hayden, chief of the fire department, who spoke out against the emergency plan adopted last month. Bloomberg allowed that there are "differences of opinion" but said he expected agencies in his administration to "work together and follow the decisions that the mayor has made."
