In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, when 343 members made the Supreme Sacrifice, the FDNY grappled with the unimaginable loss of life while at the same time rebuilding its decimated Department. Processes were in place to handle line of duty deaths, but not for this unthinkable number of members. In the days, months and even years that followed, the FDNY faced the enormous challenge of grieving, honoring their fallen and their families, and beginning the long path to recovery. During this time, the Department's Ceremonial Unit took on a critical role—not only helping to manage hundreds of funerals and memorials, but donation ceremonies and tributes were a constant for many years. As a department, the FDNY always honors and remembers their fallen heroes. Post-9/11, the Ceremonial Unit rose to this challenging occasion, which is unmatched in the history of the fire service. The intention being—to honor our fallen, support their families on their darkest day in a dignified, fitting tradition. Host Elizabeth Cascio sits down with two key players from those early days—First Deputy Commissioner Mark Guerra and Lieutenant Joe LaPointe—to hear how they responded on September 11th and how, while the Department was healing and rebuilding, the Ceremonial Unit attended multiple funerals and memorials daily—the most being 25 in one day.

If you've listened to this show over the years, chances are that you've heard our guest. If you haven't, get ready for a solid dose of the straight up good stuff. Rob Serra (@SerraRob) is back for the annual 9/11 episode and this one hits hard. Host and founder Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) was there at Ground Zero on 9/11. So was Rob. It was famously his first day on the job. Yes, you read that right, his first day as a New York City firefighter was Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.  They didn't meet then, but they were both there and it's played a massive role in their lives and indeed in the lives of every American. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to explain how much the world has changed as a result (more on that in the podcast). But they were there. In the middle of all of the destruction. And listening to them discuss what happened then and what has happened since can teach us all about what it means to be an American— the good and the bad. And as the country experiences the staggering effects of more political violence, and seems more divided than ever, this is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and absorb. It's a gut-check on a nation grappling with its past and its future. It's a raw, authentic conversation about service, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for those who ran toward the fire and the driving call behind why we must always stay vigilant. Every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

After graduating from probie school, he was first assigned to Engine Company 46 in the Bronx. He then crossed the floor to Ladder 27, where he honed his craft at the “Cross Bronx Express.” Seeking broader knowledge and experience, he transferred to Rescue Company 3, responding to some of the Bronx's most challenging fires and emergencies. Deputy Chief Jonas was later promoted to Lieutenant, serving with Ladder 11 on the Lower East Side. He then rose to the rank of Captain and was assigned to Ladder 6, where he served as company commander on September 11, 2001. Just one week after 9/11, he was promoted to Battalion Chief and assigned to the 2nd Battalion. In 2007, he achieved the rank of Deputy Chief in the 7th Division, where he continued his distinguished service until his retirement on July 9, 2022, marking the close of a remarkable 42-year career with the FDNY.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITViolence seems to be everywhere these days - even in the most unexpected places. Today we dive into a truly bizarre case where a decomposed, dismembered body was discovered in a Tesla registered to popular singer D4VD (pronounced "David") after the vehicle had been abandoned and towed to a Los Angeles impound lot. The grisly discovery came days after the car was sitting in the summer heat, leading to a foul odor that finally prompted investigation.But that's just the beginning of our disturbing crime roundup. We're tracking the massive manhunt for Jamal McGriff, a 42-year-old career criminal with a horrifying 30-year record who brutally murdered an elderly couple in Queens. The victims - parents of an FDNY paramedic - were found bound, stabbed multiple times, and set on fire in their own home after being terrorized for nearly five hours. The most infuriating part? This dangerous offender was walking free despite decades of violent behavior, raising serious questions about our criminal justice system's priorities.We also examine President Trump's recent dinner outing in Washington DC, where he attempted to demonstrate improved safety in the capital following his administration's crime crackdown. But does a presidential dinner with Secret Service protection really prove anything about everyday citizens' safety? I don't think so. The reality is that many of us have dramatically changed our behavior - I don't even answer my door anymore - because we can't rely on the system to keep dangerous people off our streets. So what's really behind this crime wave? Is it failed "reimagined" justice policies that prioritize keeping offenders out of prison? Mental health system failures? Or something more sinister?

From losing his cousin, Chief Charlie Casper, to the haunting aftermath of the towers' collapse, Mike recounts the chaos, bravery, and devastation that shaped that day and its long shadow. He explains how FDNY protocols never prepared firefighters for a full structural collapse, reflects on survivor's guilt, and recalls the patriotism that was weaponized in the months after. The two also discuss Brad's documentary Codex 9/11, how it reshaped Mike's understanding of what really happened, and why controlled narratives kept so many in the dark. With raw honesty, Mike connects the manipulation of 9/11 to later crises like COVID, drawing parallels in fear, propaganda, and public compliance. This moving testimony blends personal loss, professional insight, and hard truths, offering listeners both closure and a call to keep questioning.

From New York steakhouse soirées to Coachella Valley showstoppers, event planner Lola Kent brings a decade-plus of creative fire to the corner booth on this week's episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar with Patrick Evans and Randy Florence. She shares how a chance ceremony paired her with officiant Randy, sparking 60+ weddings built on listening, storytelling, and short-but-soulful vows. Lola recalls transforming airplane hangars at the Palm Springs Air Museum into “Norm's Beach,” complete with surprise aircraft arrivals and star musicians, and a tear-jerking Bighorn ceremony where love triumphed over stage-four cancer. We get real about budgets vs. vision, indoor-outdoor contingency planning, micro-weddings born from the pandemic, and why great planners protect couples from venue rules, vendor chaos, and desert winds. Plus: the NYPD vs. FDNY cookoff, a Wicked-themed pop-up speakeasy, and the secret to guest-first hospitality (sometimes it's Gentleman Jack).

In the early hours of August 10, 2019, an anonymous user on the 4chan message board (specifically the /pol/ board) posted that Epstein had died by hanging and cardiac arrest—writing, “Don't ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago…” The post appeared at 8:16 a.m. ET, approximately 38–40 minutes before ABC News correspondent Aaron Katersky tweeted the news at around 8:54 a.m. ET, followed by an ABC story at about 9:00 a.m. This unusual timing sparked intrigue, as it suggested someone may have had unusually early—or insider—knowledge of the event.Despite speculation, the New York Fire Department confirmed that the information did not come from any FDNY personnel or official source. No verification of the poster's identity surfaced, and the claim remains unsubstantiated—with media and investigators treating it as an unverified tip rather than a credible leak. The episode nonetheless highlighted the rapid power of anonymous online platforms to circulate high-profile news before traditional media catches up, fuelling conspiracy theories and public unease.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/fdny-review-jeffrey-epstein-4chan-postBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

He was in the lobby of that building when he got word that a second plane controlled by terrorists struck the South Tower. He immediately rushed over there. Less than an hour later, the South Tower collapsed while Timothy Brown was still inside.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Brown walks us from when he heard of the first attack through the horror of the South Tower coming down all around him. He explains what it felt like and sounded like as 110 stories crashed down around him. He also describes emerging from the rubble and getting out of the area just as the North Tower came down.Brown believes his life was spared in order to share the heroic actions of firefighters and other first responders on 9/11. And he tells multiple stories of those heroes, many of whom were friends he lost that day. Finally, Brown offers his thanks to the veterans who took the fight to the terrorists in the wars following 9/11.

FDNY members operated at a two-alarm fire in a six story, non-fireproof apartment building in Harlem on February 23, 2024. The lithium-ion battery fire originated in an apartment on the third floor and quickly spread into the public hallway, sending thick, black smoke throughout the upper floors of the building. Dozens of panicked residents attempted to escape. Many became trapped on the floors above the fire. Others were forced to the top floor windows, gasping for air.In this episode, Battalion Chief Jason Cascone speaks to Battalion Chief Ryan Brito—who was serving as Captain of Ladder 34 at the time—and Firefighter Michael Kotzo of Ladder 28. Together, they recount this challenging, intense operation, which involved multiple interior rescues and three dramatic roof rope rescues. Six medals were awarded at this year's Medal Day in recognition of the extraordinary bravery displayed at this fire. Among them, Chief Brito received the Henry D. Brookman Medal and Firefighter Kotzo was awarded the Chief of Department Peter J. Ganci Medal—the Department's highest honor for fire operations.

Originally from Seattle, Gracelyn Woods grew up housing insecure, food insecure and raised by a single mom. From these tough beginnings, she cultivated a fierce attitude of hard work and self-determination that resulted in a successful career in TV and event production in New York City. But after 20 years of this work, culminating in a big job with the landmark Apollo Theater, Gracelyn found herself mired in unhappiness.  “The lifestyle of TV and event production had taken its toll. It had shown up in vices, it had showed up in drinking, it had showed up in overspending,” she says in our interview. “My first step was to get the physical space I needed to have a moment to think about it.”  So in 2018, she moved to Beacon – alone – and started a new life. She met her partner - an FDNY firefighter - and they had a child. Meanwhile, she took on a big new job as COO and co-owner of The Bellweather Agency. Through all this, Gracelyn directed her energies to her newfound community, finding support and friendship among other parents and the wider community.

Later, Connor and Joe dive down deep (and low) to talk about the current mess that is the Mets, including the pitching problems, the hitting problems, and all the other problems.  The show also goes Down on the Farm to reveal what's behind the recent success of Brandon Sproat, and opens up a loud Mailbag to let the listeners let it all out as well.

What is peer support—and why does it matter so much in high-stress jobs? In this episode, you'll learn how it works, what it's not, and why it's saving lives on the front lines.Ever wonder what peer support actually is—and why it seems like everyone's talking about it lately?Too many departments are using the term without really knowing what it means—or how to make it work. Worse, some well-meaning programs fail because they weren't clearly defined or supported.And if you're thinking of starting a team—or you already have one that feels stuck—there's a good chance the problem isn't the people. It's the lack of clarity, training, or purpose.In this episode, I break down what peer support is, what it isn't, and why it matters more than ever for first responders, medical professionals, and anyone working in a high-stress profession.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:What peer support is—and why it's not the same as being a good friendThe difference between Crisis Intervention Peer Support (CISM) and Comprehensive Peer SupportThe practical steps to build or improve a peer support program that actually helpsWhether you're just getting started or trying to level up your existing team, this episode gives you a roadmap to do it right.OTHER LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Share this episodeSchedule a free discovery callQPR Suicide Intervention TrainingCISM and Peer Support Training InfoCitations:Jessica N.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the FDNY deploys beach Gator units at area beaches, which are staffed by EMTs trained to respond to emergencies on the beach. These units work in partnership with the FDNY Drone Unit, FDNY Fire Companies, the NYPD and New York City Parks Department lifeguards and can more easily navigate the beach and through crowds in their small, specialized vehicle. New York City's beaches are especially crowded during the warm summer months, and Independence Day weekend 2024 was no exception. Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, Station 47's beach gator unit sprang into action when five swimmers in a closed section of the beach were caught in large swells and a rip current, slamming them into the Beach 91 jetty as they struggled to say afloat. In this episode, EMT Saverio Bosco and EMT Andrew Ochtera join us to discuss this rescue operation and what a “day at the beach” is like for members working at one the busiest beaches in the city.
