Their courage, selflessness & commitment to their fellow NYers embody the very best of the fire service. 25 years later, their sacrifice continues to inspire firefighters across our state & nation.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
#NeverForget#September11#NYSPFFA
On September 11, we remember the firefighters who ran toward danger when others were running away.
We honor our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice, and all those who answered the call to protect and serve in the aftermath of 9/11.
Stopped by the @NYSPFFA reception in Albany to thank them for their continued service in keeping our communities safe. It's not an easy job. Professional firefighters answer the call wherever, and whenever they are needed. I am grateful for their dedication.
⚠️Winter fire safety reminder: Space heaters should be kept at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn. Never leave them unattended.
🧑🚒Our members respond to too many preventable fires each winter. #FireSafety#NYSPFFA
Veterans Day
On Nov. 11 we recognize those who served in the U.S. armed forces #VeteransDay.
It dates to the end of WW 1 on the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918.
As an @usairforce veteran and on behalf of our brothers & sisters, I am grateful for all who served.

Assistant Chief Koch - an informed and respected figure in the community:
"..in the absence of F-T career FFs in the @FishersFireDept we will not be safer, we will be compromised."
Sharing this strong piece from @IAFFofficial Gen Pres Edward Kelly highlighting why maintaining a safety standard that meets today risks is essential & why he supports @OSHA_DOL call to update decades old requirements.
