Posted @withregram • @fdny On Tuesday, the FDNY and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held a “Train the Trainer” event with other city agencies and outside departments across the tri-state area.
The FDNY and NIST conducted demonstrations on piloting drones and operating robots in confined spaces, structural collapses, and other emergency scenarios to teach standardized protocols for emergency response involving drones and robotics.
“We’ve been using drones since 2014, and it’s come a long way for us. It’s now an essential part of the technology that we use at all emergencies, especially at fire scenes,” said FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker.
More than 90 students from Captain Vernon A. Richard High School and #FDNYExplorers joined forces for this year’s Spring Youth Leadership Academy.
This 3-day experience was packed with hands-on training in firefighting, #EMS, drone flying, fitness drills, and team challenges.
“It’s a great opportunity to learn more skills, and it’s actually preparing me to be an EMT,” shared Akeelah Daly, a Junior at the school.
High School Junior Mikehal Fletcher Naredo enjoyed teambuilding. “I learned that when you work in groups, you can get things done easier and the rewards may be higher.”

Posted @withregram • @fdny The FDNY would like to send a special thank you to Deputy Commissioner of Public Information James Long. After 31 years with the Department, he is retiring. Long began his career with the FDNY as a Firefighter in 1994. He joined the Press Office in 2004 and has since responded to countless emergencies across the City. The FDNY will never forget his dedication and commitment. Congratulations Jim! Enjoy your retirement.
Posted @withregram • @fdny In March, Engine 53 got a knock on the door from two civilians asking for help while a woman went into labor across the street. Firefighter Denis Mansour, a former FDNY Paramedic and Probationary Firefighter John Perez, a former FDNY EMT, directed the woman to a bench in front of the firehouse. With the help of our Firefighters and EMS members, the baby was delivered safely. On Wednesday, they were reunited at the firehouse. Mom and baby are doing very well!
