SPOTLIGHT ON: WELCOME TO THE FDNY ROCK: EP. 1 

The fact the have a pull up bar bar made from 911 steel is tragically awesome. Its things like this, that makes me proud to be an American.

Wow!! What an awesome episode!! 👏👏Happy Father’s Day to all!! As I am watching this on Sunday, 6/19/2022, as my younger son, a newly graduated firefighter(3/8/2022), is working!! This is truly an amazing and awesome video, as it truly teaches us just HOW meaningful the phrase, “NEVER FORGET, really is!! My first and only time at the Rock was this year’s Family DAY, a few months ago!! My family and I absolutely felt the history and tradition of the Rock!! It was such an exciting day that I could not take everything in, although my older son, an historian spent much time taking lots of photos of all of the different monuments and honors!! Your video shows me so much of what I missed!! Thank you for this and thank you to the Chief!! I was particularly struck by the monument to Probie Sears, as another probie was lost during training in my son’s class!!!His name is Vincent Malveau, and I had not the idea of NEVER FORGET in my mind yet, but I did say to my son that I personally will never forget him and his family, and I continue to pray for them every day!! So thank you again!! I follow you on Instagram and now here!! I am thankful to our dear Lord that my son has been given his chance at his dream and I continue to be in awe of All our First Responders and the courage they display!!! Sorry for such a long comment!! Thank you for teaching me so much through your social media!! 😊❤️🚒🚒🇺🇸

I really enjoyed viewing this. The rock has changed and improved drastically from the time I retired (2002) until today. Great job Pete, Kevin and Lou.

I was assigned there for 2 years, crossed paths with many great people on the job from top to bottom. I’ll always embrace the time I had whether it be the beginning when the Rock was a personal hell or the end when I couldn’t drive out the gate without a tear in my eye.

I've seen many videos of the rock and been there several times. Can never cover this place enough! 11 mins in and can't wait for part 2. This place is incredible, full of tradition, history and deep seated respect in all aspects of the job ! It's truly inspirational, fills you with pride and love for what we do. It's a place that lay's the foundation for what the job will build upon as you grow. As a probie when you walk in the doors here, you should immediately know if you want to do this job or not! Great Job Pete, Lou and Kev. Appreciate you guys getting back there! Thanks brothers!

Thank you for your Service FDNY ♥ UK🇬🇧

Great video can’t wait to watch the rest of the series. As a lifelong New Yorker who’s dream was to join New York’s bravest since the age of five and passing the written exam only two lose my eyesight getting to see what the rock is like is fantastic. Keep up the great work

FDNY such a Great Department, Steep in tradition!!! How many 2 Star Chiefs can rip pull ups, Chief Leeb is the Job.. Well done fellas

Good job Pete. That pavilion looks awesome.

Well done fellas. Made me very proud to have been amongst the best firefighters in the world!! Miss it all when I watch something like this-God bless!!

Outstanding - well done Pete , The Training Chief does a great job presenting as well.

I toured The Rock in 2006. It is an incredible facility and a Firefighter's dream training location.

Their training facility is a working museum which pays tribute to the legacy of the FDNY. From the second the new recruits arrive, they feel that they're part of something bigger than themselves. In comparison, the NYPD training academy is nothing but depressing gray metal and fluorescent lighting. Such a difference in jobs.

Imagine, these men are paid about 1/3 of what they should be getting. Some of these guys only get $15, $16 per hour with shit benefits 😒 They give everything they have and go into the impossible and make the impossible, possible for us. The horrors of what they see alone are far beyond anything most people could deal with seeing once in their life time!!! In the hot weather these fire men work until they're physically and mentally unable to. In the cold they damn near freeze to death. Unless regular citizens like us make or bring food, water, coffee, tea, ect to them, they don't get to eat. These guys pull 12 hr shifts, unless there's a fire, could turn into 24, 30 hrs. When they get a break they need to rest. I sleep better knowing these guys are out there and that they'd give their life in a second to save you and me and our families, including our best family members our pets lol 911 is more proof then any world should ever need to really understand what these men and women are capable of. Just like a fire, while everyone is running for their life to get out of the towers, firefighters, police, paramedics (knowing that building was coming down) they ran into it to save us! We should always do whatever we can to help and aid them. This is one very thankful Atlantic Canadian! THANK YOU ALL 1ST RESPONDERS!!! ❤❤

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way......

I beleive that NYFD is the gold standard of Fire Departments in the USA.* *Despite a female being made a Fire Fighter despite failing the PT more than what a male would be allowed to fail before being DQ.

Feel bad for new firemen Fdny is too woke for it’s own good.

1:38 "some of the very best FF in the world"? Sorry, but not wearing their masks while fighting a vehicle fire as often seen on YT, does not show good ff! And the FDNY is worldwide known for inefficient work. they need more manpower for most fires than other fire departments all over the world. More manpower does not mean better work ;-) 5:48 is it a military academy? a shaolin monastery? or why is it necessary to shave their heads? sorry, but this conveys a totally wrong impression! Drill and discipline are important, YES OF COURSE, but THIS academy is CIVILIAN and for HEALTH purpose and not for military purpose!!!
