FDNY FF BOBBY McGUIRE L173, E285, E294/L143 President FDNY BOXING TEAM

Today I had the pleasure of choppin’ it up with retired FDNY FF BOBBY McGUIRE. Bobby is originally from Rockaway NY, but moved to Howard Beach Queens at an early age.  He got on the FDNY in Late 1981 and was assigned to E294. After the company closed due to budget cuts he went to E285. He then transferred back to L143 and subsequently finished his career in 2002 out of L173. Bobby is a boxer and has been most of his life. Fighting twice in the NYC Golden Gloves. He also got on the FDNY boxing team in 1983 and became the first FDNY FF to win gold at the World Police and Fire Olympic Games.  Bobby is now the President of the Boxing team and they have an event June 26th THRILLA IN CAMILLA. A boxing event in Rockaway NY. Boxing on the beach and under the stars. FDNY vs THE WORLD.  You can get tickets on fdnyboxing.org. All links to the events below. Bobby also owned a series of Nightclubs over the years including one with the famous Yankees 3rd baseman Greg Nettles. He also knew some very influential people in the Howard Beach Area in the 80’s and 90’s. You certainly don’t want to miss this episode. Bobby’s experience in life, boxing and the fire department make for some amazing stories. I can’t thank Bobby enough, a true gentleman, for sitting with me at The Kitchen Table.
