Posted @withregram • @fdny “You stand today, prepared to protect your fellow New Yorkers and honor the oath you swore when you began your training at the Academy. The oath was the beginning of a road to noble and brave work. It was the start of a career that many people dream of, but few can do. That oath also means you are bound to always do whatever you can to save the lives of others. It means you will be held to a higher standard than others – on and off duty – being charged with doing the right thing, always. That is why our members earned the name The Bravest, a reputation that has been proven by so many men and women who came before you," said Acting FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh to today’s graduating FDNY Probationary Firefighters. Chief of Department John Hodgens said, “All of you have been trained by the very best instructors and their hard work is rewarded today knowing you are about to head out into the field. I know you join me in appreciating the mentorship, guidance, and skills training they had offered you all of these months.” Today 231 FDNY Probationary Firefighters graduated from the #FDNY Fire Academy at a ceremony held in Brooklyn.

“Since I was young, I always had a passion to help others. Becoming an FDNY Firefighter felt like the best way to continue that passion in a major way and it is the perfect fit for me,” said #FDNY Probationary #Firefighter Dominik Williams, who is graduating today from the Fire Academy. “When I was not attending the training programs, I was able to stay active in my physical preparation for the Academy through the resources on JoinFDNY.com and the Join FDNY YouTube page. The video materials they have on there can help you stay ready for what the Academy has to offer. Throughout the past 18 weeks, the camaraderie and togetherness I’ve seen throughout all of the staff at ‘The Rock’ is something I have never experienced before in a career, and I am lucky to now be a part of this family.”
“Growing up, I’ve always been involved in community service and just trying to help make my community better and this felt like the perfect fit for me,” said #FDNY Probationary #Firefighter Wesley Lorenz, who is graduating today from the Fire Academy. “I credit a lot of my success in the Academy to the Firefighter Candidate Mentorship Program. Before starting the Academy, I strived to be as academically prepared and my mentors, Firefighter Ray Profit and Lieutenant Jarrett Kotarski allowed me to pick their brain with any question that I had in order to gain as much insight as possible. With their help, as well as attending the Mobile Academies and the workout sessions held by the Fitness Awareness Program and the Vulcan Society, I was able to push myself further than ever before and that is what I enjoyed the most about my time in the Academy.”
