FDNY participates in National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2026
April 23, 2026
It was a bit of a different vibe at FDNY Headquarters in Brooklyn on Thursday, April 23, 2026, for National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
The young visitors brought some serious smiles and energy as they were treated to fire and life safety lessons, visits with Hot Dog and Siren, and a tour of FDNY apparatus. They interacted with firefighters and EMS personnel as they got an up-close look at what it's like to protect life and property in New York City. They were even sworn in as junior Firefighters and EMTs.
"It's always a wonderful day when we can welcome the next generation of FDNY heroes to Department headquarters," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. "It was so great to have their smiles and energy around the building for the day."
Each year on the fourth Thursday in April, this national day encourages parents to bring their children along for the ride.
