On Saturday, November 16, FDNY Firehouses and EMS Stations from all over the city competed in the FIT To Fight 2019 FDNY Biking Competition sponsored by the FDNY Foundation. The event took place at the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall’s Island, and consisted of four-member teams competing in a 10,000 meter-relay bike race. The fastest 24 teams won a brand new Concept 2 Bike ERG for their Firehouse or EMS Station. Thanks to all the FDNY Firefighters, Paramedics, and EMTs who participated, and special thanks to Capt. Tom Tanzosh for coordinating such a great event. We would like to congratulate the winning teams on a great performance today! ...

I am looking forward to the new challenges and the opportunities to learn even more with this promotion. My brother, Captain Chris Ganci and I are both keeping our family legacy and tradition alive. Because my father was who he was, he has impacted my career even after his death. He makes me live up to a higher standard. I know he would have been proud of me today,” says #FDNY Captain Peter Ganci III, who was promoted today at the FDNY Officers Promotion Ceremony in Brooklyn. Captain Ganci follows in the footsteps of his father, Chief of Department Peter Ganci, who was one of 343 FDNY members to make the Supreme Sacrifice on September 11, 2001. #NeverForget ...

Repost from @fdny: “My father is retired FDNY Firefighter Phil Smith, #Ladder54. I grew up going to my dad’s firehouse. I remember how happy he was to go to work every day and just how much he truly loved his job. My brother, Chris Smith, #Engine42, and I graduated the Academy together in 2004. I love this job because you never know what to expect when you go into work. It is very exciting. I can’t wait to start my new position and see a new part of the city, this job, and meet new people that make this Department great,” says #FDNY Captain Lauren Judson, who was promoted today at the FDNY Officers Promotion Ceremony in Brooklyn. ...

Repost from @fdny: “Fifteen years ago I decided to join the FDNY. I heard from several people about how great the job was and how it was a good career path. I am happy to say that all that I heard is exactly true. I used to work in the Fitness Unit at the Fire Academy and it was really important to me to show all the new members how necessary physical fitness is on this job. It is the only way we are able to perform our duties and that is what makes us confident in our skills. I am honored to be promoted, although leaving my current house will be hard, I am ready to embrace the new challenge that awaits me. I am excited to continue learning,” says #FDNY Lieutenant Adrian Caban, who was promoted today at the FDNY Officers Promotion Ceremony in Brooklyn. ...
