It was an emotional reunion and a ribbon cutting at the same time on Friday afternoon at Fort Totten, when FDNY Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro and a host of emergency medical service officers took gold scissors to ribbon and reopened an expanded and upgraded museum that celebrates New York City paramedics and emergency medical technicians.
Around 100 former rescue workers drove or flew from as far as Florida and Michigan to attend the reopening of the only museum in New York City that chronologically displays how FDNY’s EMS grew.
