Today on Firehouse – Ep. 2: Tom Dunne’s New FDNY Memoir

Firehouse Editor-in-Chief Peter Matthews talks with retired FDNY Deputy Chief Tom Dunne about his new book, "Notes from the Fireground: Memoir of a New York Firefighter."

Dunne's book looks back on his 33-year career with FDNY, where he retired as a deputy chief. The two talk about various chapters of the book, from learning how to become a fire officer without formal training to navigating FDNY's busiest years and responding to historical incidents. 

Following in his father's footsteps, Dunne became a second generation firefighter and worked in some of FDNY's busiest companies, which created the fodder for many of the stories he shares.
