After the events of 9/11 and the losses suffered by the FDNY, recruitment was needed to fill the voids left not just by those who heroically lost their lives marching into the Towers to save others but by those who understandably due to the emotional burden of the event’s aftermath, retired.
Tasked with leading the recruitment campaign to replenish the ranks was Battalion Chief Phil Parr. With the devastation of the event and the FDNY having been on the front line for it, would many sign up knowing the heightened risks? The Chief discusses here.
This was the last show of 2024 and what a great show to end the year. As I said on the air, I am only here because of the audience. Without you, this program is not what it is. I am grateful for all you have given me and I am better for knowing you all!
