THE FDNY FIRE FAMILY TRANSPORT FOUNDATION

We are dedicated to helping the Fire Family in its time of need by providing transportation to the families of injured, ill or deceased New York City Firefighters. We are also dedicated to promoting the greater good of the New York City Fire Department.

Every October, we host the Annual Blue Mass for Police Officers and Firefighters.
Every September, we help and support the Annual Father Mychal Judge Walk of Remembrance.

We are indebted to those who made the supreme sacrifice on 9-11-01. We honor them with the creation of Engine 343, which bears the names of the 343 New York City Firefighters, with three bronze plaques affixed to the inside of the hosebed.

The FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, supported solely through donations which we use to purchase multi-passenger vehicles. We are a 501 (c)(3) foundation; your donations are tax-deductible.

The FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation is here for you when you are in need.

FFT 17

On November 5th, at the FDNY/USMC Association celebration of the Marine Corp birthday, the Foundation dedicated FFT 17.

This new vehicle, a Ford Flex, was dedicated in the memory of Firefighter Michael Reilly of Engine 75, who died in the line of duty in August, 2006. FFT 17 was purchased with a donation that was made by the Reilly Family. We thank the Reilly Family for their donation and we know that this vehicle will serve the Department and its members and families well.
