S3 Ep7 Eldership with Chief Chuck Downey

Eldership with Chief Chuck Downey


Chief Chuck Downey joined the FDNY in 1990 and is
entering his 33rd year with the department. He is currently
serving as the Chief of the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall’s
Island, otherwise known as “The Rock,” Where he oversees all
selection and training for the over 17,000 members of the
FDNY. His brother Joe Downey is a 37-year veteran and the
battalion commander of the FDNY Rescue Battalion, and together,
they are the sons of legendary FDNY Chief Ray Downey, who had a
39½-year career and was the Chief in Charge of Special Operations
Command when he made the Supreme Sacrifice at the World Trade
Center on September 11. We talk about the role that the
community must play, especially the elders in the community, to
develop people to do hard things.
