The FDNY celebrates Ramadan with an Iftar Dinner at Department headquarters

March 5, 2026

The FDNY held a Ramadan Iftar Dinner on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at Department headquarters in Brooklyn, bringing members together for an evening of reflection.

"Tonight, we aren't just colleagues. We are family sitting down at a table. During my years with the FDNY, I have learned that our greatest strength is our ability to rely on one another regardless of our background," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said.

"It is such an honor to be here with all of you," Mayor Zohran Mamdani said. "I look out in this room, and I see some familiar faces. I see many new ones, as well. What I do see at every single table, as well as with those standing, are firefighters and EMS members who serve our city every single day."

The event was hosted in partnership with the FDNY Islamic Society.
