Today, we remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001 and the brave first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We honor the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice, along with the police officers, EMTs, paramedics and countless other heroes who answered the call that day.

Their courage, sacrifice and commitment to serving others will never be forgotten.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who knew and loved them during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, brother.

Last night, Lieutenant Brighton and Lieutenant Damon proudly represented our department at the Sudden Cardiac Survivor Celebration Dinner, hosted by the University of Michigan Health Frankel Cardiovascular Center.

This event honored the survivors, families, first responders, and medical professionals who all play a vital role in saving lives during cardiac emergencies. Together, they form the “Cardiac Chain of Survival” a powerful reminder of how teamwork and rapid, skilled care make all the difference.

We want to recognize Lt. Brighton and Lt. Damon for their outstanding prehospital care, professionalism, and commitment to the job. Their actions were a critical link in the chain that led to a successful outcome for a cardiac arrest patient.

Please join us in congratulating them on this well earned recognition and thanking them for their continued dedication to protecting and serving our community.

Last month, several of our firefighters completed a 40-hour Pump Operator course instructed by Lieutenant Gary Polenz. Training included classroom instruction and extensive hands-on evolutions covering pump operations, hydraulics, water supply, relay pumping, master streams, and troubleshooting common pump issues.

While the course benefited firefighters of all experience levels, it played an important role in preparing our new firefighters to safely and effectively operate fire apparatus on the fireground.

Thank you to Lt. Polenz for sharing his knowledge and helping develop the pump operators who will serve our department and community for years to come.
