On Monday, December 22nd, the FDNY Foundation joined the FDNY for a promotion ceremony for 97 FDNY Officers at the College of Staten Island. These 97 members were promoted to the ranks of: Assistant Chief, Deputy Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, Battalion Chief, Captain and Lieutenant.
The FDNY Foundation congratulates all 97 officers on their promotions! This is a tremendous accomplishment for them and their families. We wish them continued success and thank them for their service and commitment to protecting the people and City of New York and proudly representing the FDNY.
“Promotions are great days in the FDNY,” Acting FDNY Commissioner Mark Guerra said. “It’s a big deal to be promoted in the FDNY. I want to thank you all for stepping up—taking on that new leadership role. To all of our promotees: Remember, we have your backs. You’re not doing this alone. A huge part of leadership is knowing when to seek out additional resources.”
Chief of Department John Esposito said: “Promotion is a reflection of the hard work each of you have displayed throughout your careers. Many of you are already officers moving to the next rank. Whether you’re a firefighter or an assistant chief, leadership is more than a rank or title. It’s a responsibility you accept every time you start your tour. Our Department’s legacy was built on the leaders before us. It’s now your responsibility to carry that forward.”
