FDNY on Instagram: "Battalion Chief Bobby Meuser joined the Department in 2006. In 2017, he received the Albert S. Johnston Medal for rescuing trapped civilians at a 3- alarm fire in the Bronx. His love for the FDNY has motivated him to rise through the ranks to become Deputy Chief. He will be promoted at a ceremony on Monday."

Joseph Downey on Instagram: "Chief Ray Downey’s extraordinary 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. While he was held in high regard by members of the FDNY and emergency response agencies worldwide, he led a humble life, extremely devoted to the mission and members of the Fire Department of the City of New York."
