FDNY Capt. PAUL BROWN L158 IMT Ret. Co Author RISING FROM GROUND ZERO

Today I had the honor to chop it up with FDNY Ret. Captain PAUL BROWN. Capt. Brown has over 32 years of service to NYC with a combined time between NYC Transit PD, before the NYPD merge and FDNY.  He started out in Transit PD as a 20 year old in 1983. And worked the highly effective decoy unit, where he worked undercover on the east New York subways. He was hired by FDNY in 1989 and assigned to E93. He transferred to L43 in 1991 and then promoted to Lt. in 2000, bounced around the 15th division before being assigned to E290 in 2003. He got on the FDNY IMT in 2004. Was promoted to CAPT. In 2006 and UFO’d long term in E314 and E265, before getting assigned to L158. He retired in 2016 ending 80 years of direct lineage in the FDNY. 
He has since Co Authored RISING FROM GROUND ZERO, 9/11 and the FDNY’s path through crisis to transformation. A detailed account of that day through the eyes of over 30 FDNY chiefs, officers and firefighters. 
Which is now available for pre sale on Barnes and noble, Amazon or wherever you purchase books.

Thank you Capt. Brown for sitting with me on The Kitchen Table, I am truly honored to have been one of the first FDNY members to read the book. I know it will do well and it should be read by everyone. Your passion for the FDNY and the book truly showed in this conversation.
