Gangs and Volunteer Fire Fighters

I read that in the early to mid 19th century volunteer fire companies were heavily affiliated with the gangs of NY. If my relative was a member of No. 11 Engine Co. In 1829 is there a way to tell what gang if any he might have been with? He lived on Mulberry Street at or near the Five Points district. The Plug Uglies? :-)
