Our special guests will be 24 year FDNY veteran Dennis Hargett and his Dad 25 year FDNY veteran George Hargett. (We might get the kid on too :) .. George Hargett stepped into Engine 252 in 1967 and his son Dennis into Engine 235 in 1982. Their grandson/son Michael is currently following in his fathers footsteps and also working in Engine 235.
The Hargetts are one of only two black FDNY families where three generations -- grandfather, father and son -- have served in the NYC Fire Department.
From the Daily News 2018:
- “Seeing my son walk across that stage really made me feel proud and my heart is filled with joy today,” Dennis added. “He made history not only in our family, but also in the best fire department in the world and I’m just so proud that he has this distinguished honor.”
- “Celebrating all of this today is really beautiful and words can’t describe how happy I am for my grandson and our family,” George added. “This is the best job in the world and now we have my grandson continuing the legacy and that’s really special.” .....Good Stuff...You don’t want to miss this one.
