Brotherhood:

In 2021, TL-117 firefighter Christopher Carney passed away due to a line-of-duty illness. Yesterday, his son, Gavin, carried that legacy forward—graduating from the FDNY EMS Academy.
And the brotherhood did what it always does—it showed up.
Dozens of members from 117 stood beside the Carney family to honor Chris’s memory and support Gavin on this incredible day. Even the rig made it to the ceremony, after relocating due to a multiple-alarm fire—because that’s what this job, and this family, is all about.
Service runs deep in the Carney family. Gavin’s mother, Jenn, proudly serves as an EMT on Long Island. Both of his grandfathers are longtime volunteer firefighters, and his uncles have carried the torch as well— including Chris’s brother, Pat, is currently serving with L-133 in South Jamaica.

A father’s legacy.
A son continuing the mission.
A brotherhood that never forgets.

Long live the brotherhood.
