Just after 2:00pm on Thursday, the #FDNY responded to reports of a fire in a private dwelling in Brooklyn. The fire quickly went to a 3rd alarm and was brought under control at 4:38pm. FDNY Fire Marshals determined the fire was caused by workers who were welding during renovations. | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)

Once you’ve applied to become an EMT with the FDNY, it’s important to begin preparing for entry into the FDNY EMS Academy. The Academy’s goal is to equip probationary EMTs with more than just physical readiness; it also focuses on preparing them mentally and emotionally for the profession, the career ahead, and the challenges they may face in the field. Instructors will provide support in the classroom, during physical training, and in helping future FDNY EMTs become the best versions of themsel

Congratulations to all FDNY Probationary EMTs who graduated today from the FDNY EMS Academy | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)
