FDNY on Instagram: "Battalion Chief Bobby Meuser joined the Department in 2006. In 2017, he received the Albert S. Johnston Medal for rescuing trapped civilians at a 3- alarm fire in the Bronx. His love for the FDNY has motivated him to rise through the ranks to become Deputy Chief. He will be promoted at a ceremony on Monday."

Joseph Downey on Instagram: "Chief Ray Downey’s extraordinary 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. While he was held in high regard by members of the FDNY and emergency response agencies worldwide, he led a humble life, extremely devoted to the mission and members of the Fire Department of the City of New York."

Firefighter Matthew Cappola began his career with the FDNY as an EMT in 2009. In 2013, he was promoted to Firefighter, assigned to Engine 332. His uncle, Lieutenant James Blackmore worked at that same firehouse. Blackmore died in the 1998 fatal fire at 2530 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. On Monday, Cappola will continue his uncle’s legacy when he is promoted to Lieutenant. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. and can be streamed at YouTube.com/@OfficialFDNY | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)
