The FDNY Foundation wishes you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy, and Safe Thanksgiving. We are forever grateful for our FDNY firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics and their extraordinary work saving lives and protecting property in New York City. Thank you for your generous support of FDNY members as we continue to help fund training, equipment and education for our first responders and fire and life safety programs throughout the City. Here are some #FDNYSmart safety tips to remember this Thanksgiving: ➡️ Most fires in the home start in the kitchen. Don’t leave cooking food unattended. ➡️Stand by your pan and turn your handles in. ➡️Wear short or tight-fitting sleeves. Long sleeves are more likely to catch on fire or get caught on pot handles. ➡️Keep the area around the stove clear of towels, papers, potholders and anything that can burn. ➡️Treat burns immediately with cool running water. ➡️Have a working smoke/CO alarm https://lnkd.in/eH5Gy6Yi

Robin Hood's Heroes Breakfast was a reminder of why I love this city. Every year, we honor New Yorkers who have faced unimaginable obstacles — and, with the support of extraordinary nonprofit partners, turned those challenges into momentum. This year’s heroes — Derrick, Wendy, and Jaylen — reflect the very best of New York. Their stories are different, but they share a powerful throughline: resilience, opportunity, and the organizations that stood with them. 🔹 Derrick, supported by the FDNY Foundation, found a path from near dropout to firefighter at Engine 26 — living proof of what’s possible when young people get structure and a second chance. 🔹 Wendy, a remarkable NYC principal, has helped transform literacy and math outcomes at P.S. 132 through her partnership with Teaching Matters. 🔹 Jaylen, the first-ever client of Anthos|Home, moved from years of housing instability to a permanent home where she’s raising her son and finishing her degree. These are not just individual triumphs — they are examples of what happens when New York invests in the potential of its people. To our honorees — FDNY Foundation, Teaching Matters, and Anthos|Home — thank you for showing what partnership and purpose can make possible. And to our Heroes: thank you for reminding us what courage looks like in this city. New York is filled with Heroes like you.
