"Can we Point fingers?" Monsey Fire Department | J6 Eyewitness | Yanky Fliegman - ShmueliCast Ep. 65

from ShmueliCast · host Shmueli Ungar

This week on ShmueliCast, we sat down for a direct, open conversation with Yanky Fliegman, Fire Commissioner of the Monsey Fire Department.We began by speaking about his personal experience being present in Washington, D.C. on January 6th. Yanky shared what it was like to be there in real time — the atmosphere, the emotions, and how the day unfolded from his vantage point. Hearing the experience from someone who was physically there offers a different perspective — one that sheds light on details and impressions people may not have been exposed to until now, including how he recalls President Trump’s speech as it was delivered live, in the moment.From there, we transitioned into his role as Fire Commissioner — the responsibility it carries and the realities of serving the community.We also addressed some of the ongoing discussions surrounding fire response efforts in the area, including the dynamics between different volunteer groups. The topic was handled thoughtfully, allowing concerns and viewpoints to be expressed without taking sides or placing judgment.As always, ShmueliCast is about sitting down, hearing people out, and giving our audience the space to listen and form their own understanding."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.
