“A retired @FDNY firefighter, whose older brother died when they both responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, passed away Saturday.” We remember Daniel Foley & the 200+ #FDNY FFs that have passed from toxic Ground Zero related illnesses Cc: @nypost

New York's Bravest! ❤️ Today, we celebrate the establishment of the Fire Department of New York, more commonly referred to as the @FDNY . Engine Company No. 1, the first professional unit, entered duty at 4 Centre Street in Manhattan on this day 157 years ago.
