Great post. Some timeless words from Father Mychal.

“Keep going. Support one another. Love one another. You love the job. We all do. A difficult, difficult job. But God gives you a love for it so that a difficult job will be well done!”

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.

For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

Prayers for the Kilduff family and Boston Fire.

Mayor Eric Adams and Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker today announced the line of duty death of Firefighter Patrick D. Brady, 42, an 11-year veteran of the Department. On Saturday, November 8, Firefighter Brady was operating on the roof of an all-hands fire at 9407 Kings Highway in Brooklyn when he suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest. Firefighter Brady was immediately treated by fellow FDNY Firefighters and FDNY EMS. He was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he died.
“Firefighter Patrick Brady gave his life protecting the city we all love; there is no sacrifice that is more selfless than the actions that took place this evening,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Firefighter Brady came from a family of firefighters — all dedicated to protecting the lives of their fellow New Yorkers. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to his wife, Kara, and his entire family during this difficult time.”
“The entire FDNY is heartbroken over the loss of Firefighter Patrick Brady. Firefighter Brady was a dedicated public servant, and firefighting was in his blood. We are thinking of his family, friends, and fellow members as we join them in mourning this immense loss,” said FDNY Commissioner Tucker. @FDNYFoundation @UFANYC @NYCFireWire @NYCEMSwatch @FDNYFC @NYCMayor #fdny

We mourn the passing of Firefighter Patrick Brady, whose bravery this city is deeply indebted to.

For 11 years, he put the safety of others before his own, serving selflessly and courageously. New York City is forever grateful for his service and sacrifice.

The culture of any organization, for better or worse, is the unseen force that shapes the outcome of nearly every challenge it faces. It’s the foundation of every battle, every victory, and every loss.

Yesterday, the #Brooklyn quarters of FDNY Rescue 2 became the center of the fire department universe as they celebrated 100 years of service.

Legendary and widely regarded as the busiest fire duty rescue company in the world, FDNY Rescue 2 has spent a century at the forefront of high-stakes operations. As a cornerstone of the FDNY’s elite teams, it has rightfully earned the nickname “The Rescue.”

I was honored to attend and witness the deep respect for Rescue 2, reflected in the presence of current and former department leaders…including commissioners and chiefs…along with hundreds of family members, friends, and fellow firefighters.

In its history, only 400 individuals have worn the blue Rescue 2 shield…just 0.5% to 1% of all @FDNY members who have served over the department’s 160-year existence. It’s a highly exclusive group.

One speaker noted that a key to Rescue 2’s success is its culture, which has remained consistent for 50 years. That stability starts at the top, with @CaptBrooklyn Liam Flaherty, a widely respected leader in the fire service.

I’m proud to call Liam and many past and present members of Rescue 2 my brothers. In the words of Commissioner Robert S. Tucker, here’s to “hundredS” more years.

Firefighter James Dowdell has been a member of the FDNY for 19 years. His father, Lieutenant Kevin Dowdell, Rescue 4, was killed on September 11, 2001. Dowdell is currently assigned to Rescue 2 in Brooklyn.

On Tuesday, Dowdell will be promoted to Lieutenant, the same rank his dad held on September 11. The promotion ceremony also coincides with what would have been his father’s 70th birthday.

“Being surrounded by great officers in Rescue 2 you eventually learn enough from them and say ‘hey I want to give this a shot.’ It’ll be challenge to always keep the family name, my dad’s name, standing high. You just hope that my effort and experience will keep moving us forward. Everyone who came before is what makes the job great,” said Dowdell. 

“We all try to carry, whether it's a family name or the tradition of the Department, forward. Keep learning and instill the values and traditions onto the next generation. It’ll be interesting see a different side of the job. It’s kind of like learning a new position. You’re excited to try and see a side of the job you haven’t seen yet,” said Dowdell.

[Liam Flaherty @CaptBrooklyn]

Following his Father’s footsteps, who was my lieutenant and was murdered on 9/11/01

I’m going to miss this exceptional man. Unfortunately, Getting promoted means you have to leave the company. Go forth brother, and do great deeds.

Great day, having Commissioner Robert Tucker come by to greet the troops. Leading from the front !

[FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore @FDNYFC]

The FDNY’s Rescue Companies are known globally for their elite responses to fires and emergencies. I stopped by Rescue 2 in Brooklyn Thursday afternoon to meet the members, tour the firehouse, and talk shop. Thank you for the hospitality!
