Merely stating my pride is insufficient...

This remarkable young individual established a goal and pursued it with unwavering determination.

He was my initial client in 2017. Despite his vision being years from realization, he remained dedicated to the work. He exemplifies the positive outcomes of exceptional parenting and possesses a strong moral foundation.

I am pleased to announce that we have transitioned from being friends to now being colleagues. Remember to prioritize safety and commit to lifelong learning.

I will be participating in a ride from Dublin (September 8th) 😎 to Kinsale (September 11) in effort to raise money for while also raising awareness about mental health, supporting the wellness of first responder’s children, and 9/11-related cancer and illnesses. In partnership with the FDNY Cycling Team, and Ireland's National Firefighters, we will depart from Dublin to bike along the southern coast of Ireland to Kinsale, where a memorial ceremony will be held to honor those lost on 9/11 and those who have since passed as a result of 9/11-related illnesses. Please donate what you can!

In the realm of tactical athletes, mental health is a big concern. With shift employment, sleep is another important issue. Here are three suggestions to improve recuperation when off duty.

I've had the privilege of coaching and mentoring more than 3800 probationary firefighters since 2015. Upon successfully completing The Fire Academy, these young people experience an unending sense of pride. Now it's up to their assigned Fire Houses' senior members to shape them into the professional tactical athletes they're intended to be.

Thanks to the large collection of legitimate nutrition experts with independent shows distributing information based on solid research, we know this is bu****it.
Complete, undeniable, indefensible bu****it. But yet this government funded recommendation chart is here to let you know they suck at giving food advice too.
Repost: Lucky Charms healthier than steak? If this food pyramid is what was found at the end of the lucky charm rainbow, then we no longer want a pot-o-gold. Give us steak instead! 🥩🍀

Eric Adams and Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh today announced that Firefighter William P. Moon II was critically injured earlier this week. This morning, it became clear that Firefighter Moon, a 21-year FDNY veteran, will not survive his critical injuries. His family has made the decision to donate his organs to save the lives of others.

Just before noon on Monday, December 12, while preparing for a drill inside his firehouse – Rescue Company 2 – located at 1815 Sterling Place in Brooklyn, Firefighter Moon fell approximately 20 feet and suffered a serious head injury. He was immediately treated for his injuries by his fellow Firefighters and was then rushed by FDNY EMS to Kings County Hospital in critical condition.

“This is a heartbreaking loss for New York’s Bravest, and for our entire city,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Firefighter Moon was a dedicated public servant, who spent more than two decades saving the lives of New Yorkers and will continue to do so in his passing. We join the entire Fire Department and every New Yorker in mourning his loss, and pray for Firefighter Moon, his family, and his friends.”

“Our hearts are broken for Firefighter Moon’s family and friends, and for our entire Department. He spent his life helping others, here at the FDNY, and on Long Island, as a volunteer Fire Chief. Firefighting was in his bones, and he embodied the spirit and passion of our Department. He was passionate about organ donation, and just as he saved countless lives working out of the firehouse, he will continue to save lives in his passing,” said Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh.

Firefighter Moon was appointed to the FDNY on May 5, 2002. He began his career in Ladder Company 133 in Queens, where he worked for 20 years before being detailed to Rescue Company 2, in Brooklyn earlier this year. In addition to serving the FDNY, Firefighter Moon also served as a member of the Islip Volunteer Fire Department on Long Island, including serving as their Chief of Department in 2017.

Firefighter Moon, 47, was an Islip resident. He is survived by his wife, Kristina, and their two children.
