"Service before Self" is a core value shared by our Veterans across the FDNY. In this month’s episode, Retired Firefighter and VFW Commander Bill Hayes joins our host, Captain Andrew Brown, to discuss his journey from the military to the FDNY, and how the VFW continues to support veterans—both past and present—on their path to rewarding careers in firefighting. We also hear from EMS Division Chief Charles Morgan and Firefighter Vanessa Schoeing, two current veterans on the job, as they reflect on what it means to continue serving the city they call home. ICYMI: Firefighter Pablo Mota-Nunez sat down with EMS Captain Randy Li to share his experience as a member of the FDNY Hispanic Society and to discuss the importance of recruitment in attracting new candidates to our Department.
