It is with deep regret the department announces the passing of retired Firefighter Vincent Piccolino, Ladder 166- who succumbed to his World Trade Center related illness on September 27, 2026.

Piccolino dedicated 15 years of service to his department, choosing a profession built on courage, responsibility, and the promise to stand between danger and the people who needed protection.

Like many firefighters who served during and after the September 11 attacks, his commitment did not end when the immediate crisis was over. The rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center created lasting physical and emotional challenges for thousands of first responders who worked in the aftermath of one of the most devastating days in American history.

Many firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, and volunteers who responded to Ground Zero later developed illnesses connected to their exposure during those operations.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of red and blood.🙏🏻

POTUS: "Today, I'm pleased to announce that the last American forces are leaving Iraq... This day is a victory for the United States, it's a victory for Iraq, and a decisive victory over ISIS, which has been completely decimated."

The internet sure does misguide people to the point it can really get them in trouble. Hearing a 15yr old kid tell the high school SRO "You can't search my locker unless you get a warrant or my mom will sue your ass" was an interesting experience today🫤👮‍♂️
