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.

Macy’s 4th of July

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hager are shown here with FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation President Pat Concannon, in front of Bryant Park Hotel with FFT #14, which was donated to the Foundation by Lee Hager on behalf of Southern Wine and Spirits, in the name of their founder Harvey Chaplin.

Lee, his wife, their oldest son Daniel, and Ryan all were treated to a VIP celebration of our Nation’s Independence. They were the guests of the FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation at this year’s Macy’s Fourth of July Celebration on the waterfront in Brooklyn. The venue was magnificent, including a front row seat on the water to view the Macy’s fireworks display.

Engine 343 gets outfitted for upcoming events.

These are the three persons who I was speaking with today when 343 went to get PMP (Preventive Maintenance Procedures) at The Rock:

  • Tim Ramos, Director FDNY Satellite Shops Fleet Services at The Rock.
  • Joe Nikifor FDNY Satellite Shops Fleet Services  at The Rock.
  • Sal Giacopery FDNY MECHANIC Fleet Services at The Rock (22 years).

And if it wasn’t for Danny Prince, I would still be waiting at the front gate. Thanks, Dan, for all you do–and I do mean all!
