HAPPENING NOW: FDNY units are operating at a 5-alarm fire at 41-40 Denman St in Queens.

Last week, Ghostbusters fans and FDNY members came together at Ladder 8 in Tribeca for the annual Ghostbusters Day celebration. Thank you to the @FDNYFoundation and the Fire Safety Education Unit for helping raise funds and share life-saving fire safety information with New Yorkers and visitors from around the world.

Due to @FDNY activity, expect traffic delays, road closures, mass transit disruptions and a heavy presence of emergency personnel in the area of Riverside Drive and 158th Street in Queens. Consider alternate routes and allow for additional travel time.

On Thursday, FDNY EMS members responded to a cardiac arrest involving a 15-year-old patient at a school in Queens. Upon arrival, EMTs Alexis Torres and Justin Sarapaivanit, both of Station 45, found school staff performing CPR and utilizing an on-site AED, which had delivered three shocks prior to their arrival. The EMTs immediately assumed patient care, confirmed the patient remained in cardiac arrest, and continued lifesaving resuscitation efforts. Shortly afterward, members of Engine 325 arrived to assist. While preparing the patient for rapid transport, EMTs Torres and Sarapaivanit reassessed the patient and observed signs of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), including the return of spontaneous breathing. Rescue Paramedics Kayla Pasquarello and Meagan Valicenti, along with Lieutenant Erin Doyle, stabilized the patient, performed cardiac monitoring, and alerted the hospital about their pending arrival. The FDNY commends the quick actions and seamless teamwork displayed by all of our EMS and Firefighters on scene. Their efforts, combined with the rapid recognition of cardiac arrest and immediate CPR provided by school staff, played a critical role in helping save a young life.

This week, the FDNY held dedication ceremonies for the inaugural World Trade Center Retired Responders Wall—honoring 154 members from all five boroughs who were retired at the time of the September 11th attacks and responded to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site. The wall is located directly across from the World Trade Center Memorial Wall inside FDNY Headquarters. Together, the two memorial walls honor the growing number of FDNY members who have died from illnesses related to their response to the attacks. We will never forget their service and sacrifice at Manhattan Box 5-5-8087 World Trade Center.

It was an honor to join members of the FDNY family at the 87th Annual Fire Bell Club Dinner, a longstanding tradition that celebrates the dedication, sacrifice and service of New York City's Bravest and Best. This year, the Fire Bell Club recognized Lieutenant Patrick T. Donlon of Engine 75, recipient of the Chief of Department Peter J. Ganci Jr. Medal and NYS Honorary Fire Chiefs Association Medal, and Firefighter John P. Daly of Ladder 58, recipient of the Fire Bell Club Medal. Their courage and commitment exemplify the values that define our Department. Congratulations to Lieutenant Donlon and Firefighter Daly on these well-deserved recognitions.

The World Cup is here, and millions of fans will be celebrating across our city. Whether you're heading to a match, watching from a fan festival, or cheering with family and friends, take a few moments to plan ahead, know your exits, follow posted safety instructions, and help keep emergency access routes and fire hydrants clear. From all of us at the FDNY, enjoy the matches and stay safe. ⚽🚒

On Monday afternoon, FDNY Marine Company 6 rescued a person in distress from the East River near Kent Avenue and South 9th Street in Brooklyn.   At approximately 3:12 p.m., Marine 6 responded to reports of a person in the water and immediately got underway aboard the fireboat Feehan. Upon arrival, members located the victim struggling in a swift-moving current and repeatedly going beneath the surface.   Firefighter Norman Bennett, assigned as the rescue swimmer, quickly entered the water while tethered to Firefighter Daniel Bergen, who served as the backup rescuer. Maintaining visual contact with the victim, members deployed the rescue swimmer within seconds of arriving on scene.   Firefighter Bennett was able to reach and secure the victim as Firefighter Bergen and Wiper Vega assisted in bringing both safely aboard the vessel.   Recognizing the need for immediate medical care, Marine 6 maneuvered the vessel alongside a nearby ferry terminal, where members gained access to the pier and transferred the victim to awaiting FDNY EMS personnel.   The FDNY commends the quick action, coordination, and professionalism of the members of Marine Company 6, whose efforts brought this incident to a successful outcome.
