Happy Meet a Member Monday! 👋

This week we’re highlighting EMT Dale Garcia, who has proudly served as an FDNY EMT for 10 years. Today, Dale works in Peer Support within our Counseling Service Unit (CSU) at Fort Totten, helping fellow members navigate both the challenges of the job and life outside of it.
Dale emphasizes the importance of supporting one another, especially after tough calls, and reminds members that CSU is always available to provide confidential help for both work and non-work–related issues.

If you’re ready to start your own journey with FDNY EMS, the filing period for EMT and EMS Trainee is open now through November 25.

“They saved my life. Because of them, I’m still here. My two-year-old has a dad. My wife has a husband. I just needed to meet these people that gave me a second lease on life,” said Robert Sevalrud.

On October 7th, Sevalrud was jogging along the West Side Highway when he went into cardiac arrest. Bystanders immediately began CPR and called 911. They ran to the quarters of Marine 1, whose members rushed over and continued treatment. EMTs arrived and quickly administered the defibrillator, which restored a pulse. Paramedics on scene stabilized the patient and transported him to Bellevue Hospital. He was discharged and went home to his family. On Wednesday, he surprised the members who helped save his life with a visit at EMS Station 7. We are so grateful Sevalrud is healthy and we are so proud of our members who always help save lives at a moment’s notice.
