Posted @withregram • @fdny “Our new EMTS have made a commitment to provide outstanding emergency medical care to New Yorkers, despite the dangers and challenges they face every day. Last year, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, our EMTs responded to record-breaking numbers of calls, with the importance of pre-hospital medical care highlighted every day. The bravery of the men and women you will join was on display every single day, when they continually showed up to do the hard work when everyone else was told to stay home. That commitment to service will define your careers, and it will leave an impact on the people whose lives you help when they need it most. You are now part of a proud tradition. You save lives for a living, a feat not many people can claim. When it’s your turn to act, I know you will respond quickly, remember your oath and demonstrate why the FDNY is the best emergency medical service in the world,” said #FDNY Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro to today’s graduating FDNY Emergency Medical Technicians. FDNY Chief of Department Thomas Richardson said, “You’ve entered a life of service, in a world-class organization, the FDNY. We are the gold standard in the EMS and Fire service. We have high expectations of you all. You’ve answered a calling to serve in a most noble profession. To save lives, there is no greater good than that. You all have completed a challenging training program and your training will serve you well. You have learned from world-class instructors at the EMS Academy. I look forward to seeing you and working with you out in the field. Welcome to the team.” FDNY Chief of EMS Operations Lillian Bonsignore said, “It is humbling and inspiring to look out and see so many people who are dedicating their lives to this profession. You are now joining the ranks of the most extraordinary and dedicated first responders I have ever known. You have also joined while we continue to battle a global pandemic, a true indication of your commitment towards others. This job is a calling and we are so grateful it has called you. Our city just got a little safer thanks to people like you. Be well and be safe, congratulations.”

“I was a 3rd Class Petty Officer for the United States Coast Guard. I am happy to work for the FDNY and join my brother Stephen Choy who’s a Firefighter at Ladder 158,” said #FDNY Probationary #EMT Danielle Smith, a @uscg veteran who is graduating from the FDNY #EMS Academy today. “I wanted to work for the FDNY because of its legacy of being best department in the world. A lot of my family is involved in EMS and first response. My father influenced me to become an EMT. I look forward to helping people in their time of need and giving someone a second chance at life.”
“There are people in my family with health issues and I never wanted to feel like I couldn’t help them. They are the reason I became an EMT and now I’m the first in my family to join the Department,” said #FDNY Probationary #EMT Dontae Waddell, a 2019 FDNY Youth Winter EMS Academy alum who is graduating from the #FDNY #EMS Academy today. “I enjoyed the hands-on training and doing skills in the Academy. I believe WEMSA prepared me ahead of time for the load of the Academy and I’m looking forward to using all that I’ve learned to help the city.”

“The FDNY Exploring Program introduced me to the world of emergency medicine. I took advantage of the opportunity and trained in the Youth Winter EMS Academy in 2019. I enjoyed the program and I’m ecstatic to officially be a FDNY EMT. I’ve met some great people so far and I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my life,” said #FDNY Probationary #EMT Xavier Altamirano, a WEMSA 2019 alum and former #FDNYExplorer who is graduating from the #EMS Academy today. “I am the oldest child in my family and I want to set a good example for my siblings. They are all so proud of me and I want to continue to make them proud.”

“The FDNY Youth Winter EMS Academy prepared me for this moment. I am thankful for the FDNY Youth program because it really gave me a better understanding of protocols and medical care,” said #FDNY Probationary #EMT Teddy Harris, a WESMA 2019 alum and former #FDNYExplorer who is graduating from the FDNY #EMS Academy today. “My cousins Edmond and Edison Samuels are members of the FDNY and aside from my family influence, the Exploring Program really pushed me into becoming an EMT. The academy went by quickly and it was a lot of information taught in a short period of time. I feel well prepared to help our patients and make a difference in the city.”

“I attended the FDNY Youth Winter EMS Academy in 2019. That program helped me get started in this career. I’m from Mexico and I am the first in my family to join the FDNY. Since I could remember, I wanted to become a first responder because I wanted to help out my community and I am living out my dream now,” said #FDNY Probationary #EMT David Hernandez, a WEMSA 2019 alum who is graduating from the FDNY #EMS Academy today. “I learned a lot in the EMS Academy and the instructors were extremely helpful. They pushed us all to reach our full potential. I hope to use my training and education to help the city.”

I know that he would be proud of my decision to join the FDNY. I want the people of New York City to feel like they’re getting the help that they need and deserve. I have always had a passion for helping people. Now that I’m an EMT, I look forward to meeting people from all walks of life, expanding not only my medical knowledge, but my cultural knowledge too. I love learning about all the diversity that New York City has to offer,” says #FDNY Probationary EMT Eric del Valle, stepson of EMT Norman Valle, who graduates tomorrow from the FDNY EMS Academy.

Posted @withregram • @fdny “My father, Emmett Daly Sr., is a retired Lieutenant from #Ladder155. He worked for the Department for 35 years and I am proud to be following in his footsteps. My father is one of the reasons why I joined the Department. I grew up around people he considered family and always saw how supportive the FDNY community was. During the Academy, I liked that we came together as a squad and worked together, pushed each other and became a family. I worked hard in class and put a lot of effort into studying. Now that I am on the streets, I’m excited to be out and utilizing the skills I have learned,” says #FDNY Probationary EMT Emmett Daly Jr., who graduates tomorrow from the FDNY EMS Academy as the Alpha Company Academic Achiever.
