Before we ring in the New Year tonight, we're sharing the final photo of our #FDNY150 daily photo series, which looked back at events celebrating the FDNY's 150th Anniversary year. Today's photo is of FDNY Chief of Operations John Sudnik, who along with fellow FDNY members, rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange in celebration of FDNY150.
Today, FDNY Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro presided over a ceremony in Brooklyn promoting 62 FDNY officers. “With more 1,300 years of experience, this group of new Chiefs, Fire Marshals and Marine Firefighters have bravely battled fires, saved lives and performed heroic acts throughout their careers,” said Commissioner Nigro. “In their new roles, they will demonstrate the strong leadership that has been a hallmark of the FDNY for the past 150 years.” View more photos from today’s ceremony at http://ow.ly/WtlkV [Flickr]
