“The Places You’ll Go!”

“The Places You’ll Go!” reflected Chief of Training Michael Meyers during a special on-location edition of the JoinFDNY Podcast, recorded in the Mand Library at the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall’s Island. He sat down with our host, Captain Andrew Brown, to discuss the role of training—both during your time at the Academy and throughout your entire career in the Department. In their conversation, Chief Meyers emphasized how continuous learning and preparation are essential for success in the field and beyond.    ICYMI: Captain Randy Li also looks back at some of the most memorable interviews from the 2025 FDNY Medal Day, and the lasting impact this annual celebration has on members across the city.
