2nd Alarm in Queens
In April 2025, members of rescue 4 including our very own member of the lacrosse team John Salva, noticed a large body of smoke near a junkyard in queens. Members of Rescue were on scene and operated quickly, transmitting a 2nd alarm prior to the response of the remaining units in route. John has been a member of the lacrosse team for many years now and has also contributed with coaching youth lacrosse as well.
Child saved in Queens
A young boy was rescued and hospitalized after being injured and impaled on a fence. Firefighters cut him free and placed him onto a stretcher with EMS, securing him with a sheet before splinting his leg to prevent further injury. EMT's Jared Pinto & Ryan Glidden along side paramedics assessed the child, then transported to Bellevue Hospital for further treatment. His condition has been determined stable. Ryan Glidden and Jared Pinto have been active players on the lacrosse team as well, playing in games including the "Battle of the Badges" in early September of 2024
Support for Kieran
The FDNY men's lacrosse team is at full support for Kieran! We are all equally excited to see Karen return and to get back on that field. He is definitely not in this alone, we are all in this together! Hundreds of friends and families including our own came down and supported Kieran and his family! Kieran had a successful stem cell surgery earlier this year!
