25-Group Chart System
The FDNY's traditional 25-group chart system. Firefighters typically work in a pattern of:
- 2 Day Tours (9 hours each)

Every firefighter is assigned to one of 25 groups. The calendar shows which groups are working each day and night tour.

In this system, firefighters are assigned to one of 4 platoons, with groups within each platoon sharing the same schedule.
