Posted @withregram • @fdny Today, the FDNY held the 27th Annual Second Chance Ceremony. 10 cardiac arrest survivors were able to reunite with the first responders who helped to save their lives. The FDNY would like to thank the Pintchik Family and the @fdnyfoundation for their generous support in making this annual event possible. The Pintchik family has honored EMS members annually for their hard work, dedication and ability to profoundly touch the lives of so many fellow New Yorkers and visitors.
In celebration of #EMSWeek, the spotlight is on five of our #EMS Instructors who are inspiring first responders each day through their guidance, attentiveness and knowledge in the classroom. Throughout their career with #FDNYEMS, these instructors, and many others, have set the standard for what it means to teach “Where Emergency Care Begins.”
Today, meet #Paramedic Stanley Ko, who is the Senior Certified Instructor Coordinator (CIC) at our EMS Bureau of Training at #FortTotten. Ko, a #Queens native, works with our Advanced Life Support (ALS) refresher courses.
"My decision to work for the FDNY aligns with my personal values of service, compassion and dedication to the well-being of others,” said Ko, a nearly 10-year #FDNY veteran, who is Chinese. “While it may not be a traditional or expected career path, it showcases my commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities in need, regardless of cultural boundaries.”

On this month’s episode of the #JoinFDNYPodcast, we’re talking fitness.
“I couldn’t see myself doing anything else,” #FDNY Director of Health and Fitness Captain Robert Cefoli said to host Captain Andrew Brown about his career choice. The nearly 19-year FDNY veteran also shares info to help our #Firefighter Candidates prepare for the Academy.
Plus, #EMS Academy Health and Fitness Unit members #EMTs Camilo Hernandez, Frank Dades and Haley Sato stop by to discuss getting ready for Proby School and more with host Captain Randy Li.
A special shout-out also goes to EMT Brendan McCormack and #Lieutenant Anthony Simoncini for serving as our guest hosts.

Throughout their career with FDNY EMS, these instructors, and many others, have set the standard for what it means to teach “Where Emergency Care Begins.”
Today, meet #EMT Kydeshia Langdon, who works as an instructor at our Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) at Public Safety Answering Center II (PSAC II) in #TheBronx.
"It has always been my passion to help others. To know that even one patient has been given the chance to breathe again based off the training we provide to our dispatchers and call takers is why I find fulfillment in my career here," said Langdon, a seven-year #FDNY veteran who hails from #EastFlatbush. "It feels amazing to teach my fellow members. Whether you are looking to expand your skill set as an EMT by working in dispatch or starting your career with the FDNY learning radio etiquette and operations in the EMS Academy, my focus is to always make sure all of our members are equipped and prepared to be their absolute best."

Posted @withregram • @fdny Yesterday, #FDNY kicked off EMS Week with our 21st Annual #EMSWeek Competition at Fort Totten. Teams from all nine EMS Divisions and Emergency Medical Dispatch competed in various skill and knowledge challenges to see who New York’s City’s best EMT and Paramedic teams were.
Congratulations to the Advanced Life Support Team from Division 3 in Brooklyn and our Basic Life Support Team from Division 4 from Queens on their victories.
Exam #7001 Candidates: Not too long ago, #Engine15 #Firefighter Casey Chan was training for the #CPAT just like you. If you’re a 98% or 97% test scorer, remember to utilize our CPAT Prep Program each week to get ready for the @nycdcas physical exam. Our Peer Fitness Instructors look forward to working with you at “The Rock” at your sessions. Stay #FDNYFit! #APAHM
Today, the 2023 #FDNYYouth #EMS Games were held at our EMS Academy at #FortTotten. Four teams of aspiring first responders competed in the Tech Bag Relay, CPR Proficiency, EMT Jeopardy and Medical Terminology Spelling Bee competitions in order to be crowned the winner.
This year’s squads included the #FDNY Captain Vernon A. Richard High School for Fire and Life Safety, Urban Assembly School for Emergency Management, Urban Assembly School for Collaborative Health and our current Winter Youth EMS Academy (WEMSA) class.
Congratulations to the #FDNYHS for bringing home the win, showing that the classroom is one of the first places “Where Emergency Care Begins.”

Posted @withregram • @fdny In honor of EMS week, the @empirestatebldg will light up Sunday night in blue, white, and yellow. Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh and Chief of EMS Michael Fields were joined by dozens of EMS Members as they threw the switch at a ceremonial lighting today.
“This is an incredibly important week for the Fire Department because it recognizes the hard work and bravery of our Emergency Medical Service Members who show up at any time, any place, no matter what,” said Kavanagh. “Their dedication to their work is crucial in keeping our city safe.” #EMSWeek
