On Wednesday, May 14, the FDNY Foundation joined the FDNY for a graduation ceremony for 326 Probationary Firefighters in Brooklyn.
The FDNY Foundation congratulates the 326 Probationary Firefighters who graduated today. They are a remarkable group and we wish them the best of luck in the FDNY. We thank them for choosing a career of service and commitment to protecting the people and City of New York, and proudly representing the FDNY.
“This is serious and dangerous work. Respect it and respect the patch that you wear on your sleeve. This is the greatest fire department in the world, and it is an honor to call yourself New York’s Bravest,” said FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker.
“You have shown the character, the courage, and the commitment it takes to wear this uniform. Firefighting is a team endeavor. We succeed or fail as a team, and the safety of each one of us is dependent upon other firefighters knowing and completing their assignment,” said Chief of Department John Esposito.
The Probationary Firefighters will be assigned to firehouses across the city.
