Today we have reached the somber milestone of losing 343 FDNY members of 9/11 related illness. We remember and mourn the 343 lives lost on 9/11 and all those lost from 9/11 related illness. We must never forget them or those who continue to suffer from the effects of 9/11.

My daughter doesn’t quite know how hard it is out here - to be a woman, to be a person. She’s learning though, and it breaks my heart. On #InternationalWomansDay and *all the days* let’s find ways to make the world an easier place to navigate for these little girls.
Congratulations to Providence's new Fire Chief Derek M. Silva, Assistant Chief of Dept Stephen T. Houle, and Chief of Administration Joseph L. Molis.
