FDNY Rescue 2 – Paragraph of text.

Rescue Company 2 shared a post.

2 weeks ago

It is with deep regret that Mayor Bill de Blasio and FDNY Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro announce the death of Probationary Firefighter Steven H. Pollard.

Commissioner Nigro said, "It's an incredibly sad night for the Pollard family, for the Fire Department family, and for our city. Firefighter Pollard had one and a half years on the job, just starting out. He lost his life tonight in the process of helping others. He was assigned to Ladder Company 170 in Brooklyn. At approximately 10 p.m. they were called to the Belt Parkway just east of Flatbush, to a 2-car accident with injuries. As they were going to help the victims at that accident, Firefighter Pollard slipped through a gap in the roadway and fell to the ground approximately 52 feet below. He was pronounced this evening. It's a terrible loss for the Department, to lose a member just at the beginning of his career like this is devastating to us. He is the 1,151st member of the Bravest to give his life in the service of the people of this city. As his family mourns him, the Department mourns him, and certainly the citizens of our city mourn him. All we can do as a Department is stand beside the family and give them whatever support we can, stand beside the members of his unit at this difficult time for them, and ask for the prayers of everyone in this city for the Pollard family, for his father, retired Firefighter Ray Pollard, his brother Ray Jr., and for their mom and the rest of their extended family for this terrible loss." Mayor de Blasio said, "This is a family who has done so much for New York City and now they're going through this loss and this pain. It's a very, very tough situation."

Probationary Firefighter Pollard's father is retired Firefighter Ray Pollard of Ladder 102 in Brooklyn, and his brother is Ray Pollard Jr, an active member of Ladder Company 114. ... See MoreSee Less

Found the next episode of Hoarders. Can only IMAGINE what the inside of that apartment must have been like.

It looks like a landfill on that balcony...

Amazing how there only seems to be a fire of destruction somewhere

That should be illegal to have anything on your terrace except for a chair and table.

Firehouse Pride
A quick post of ours from 2016 has found some new life as of late so we wanted to take a quick second to share the kitchen scene we referenced from the awesome documentary “Still Riding” for those left out of the loop. If you haven’t watched the full doc, do yourself a favor and find it on the YouTube machine and make your whole company watch it together for Family Movie Night. There are a lot of amazing men in that documentary with a love of the craft few can comprehend. At the Rescues the job is not just what you do, it’s who you are. They are gone but not forgotten, and their insight will live on each time we share their knowledge with one another. Onward.

Our Repost - The Great Equalizer

"You sit down in the kitchen you are up for grabs, it doesn't matter if you're the new kid or senior man, it's the great equalizer." Captain Philip Ruvolo RESCUE 2

Captain Ruvolo may have said it best in the documentary Still Riding. A great equalizer, a place where members of the firehouse can come together, bond, bust balls, grow, and learn. Some of the best knowledge can be passed on from member to member.

Do you have a place in your firehouse where members gather? A kitchen table, a day room, a sitting area on the apparatus floor maybe. Does your crew eat meals together. These are things that can make a crew bullet proof. These are things that can bring a crew trust and pride in each other.

The great equalizer. ... See MoreSee Less

I do miss "the kitchen."

John Strate

James Gallagher

Great " the Kitchen"

Pat Prendergast

I was at the firehouse for a weekend in June 2001. Lincoln Quappe and Kevin O’Rourke was there. It was the best time ever. There was also a guy from squad 288 ( I think. He was from Montauk) working on the rescue. Listening to their stories and watching them work. I’ll never forget that time.

Kevin Hardwick

Thanks I love seeing old videos of Linc

Never forget and god bless them all and their families.

Kitchen was always fair game at Central. We all sat down together as Brothers and Sisters, reguardless of Rank. I Do Miss That.

To all the members of the fdny who walked into those buildings on that day you guys are the true definition of the word hero thank you for what you do every day for the New York community

if i’m not mistaken, didn’t Res5cue lose all but one member that responded? also, is there a list of companies that lost every responder that day?

Rescue #2 May the men working that day rest in peace. The men and women working for the NYFD and NYPD may they always always be strong and keep NYC safe. Believe me we will never forget...................

Can't help but think this was on made on purpose. (look at the plate)

RIP hero’s! Prayers for all 343...🙏🙏..so many great friends lost that horrible day.. #NeverForget!!!! Ever!!

Remember the day like it was yesterday. We will never forget.

Thanks to all for your service. RIP.

Rest easy brothers.

Gone but not and never to be forgotten

Is this big blue?

Never Forget.

we will never forget it

Rest In Peace gentlemen...

Rest in peace brothers
