Welcome to NYC Fire Chiefs Association
Help Support Army SPC Brendan Marrocco
Specialist (SPC) Brendan Marrocco is a hero who needs our help and support. SPC Marrocco was severly injured in Afghanistan while serving our country to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. SPC Marrocco is quadruple amputee and has spent 16 months in pain but is determined to use his prosthetics to be self sifficient.
The Steven Siller Foundation has purchased land so a home can be built for SPC Marrocco in his hometown of Staten Island. Two of our fellow Chiefs, John LaBarbera B-23 and Dave Smith B-35, have spearheaded two fund raisers to help build SPC Marrocco a home he can function independently in.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. IF YOU CAN NOT ATTEND PLEASE MAKE A DONATION. Tell relatives, friends and neighbors about this brave American Hero and ask them to make a donation. Donations can be made out to the Siller Foundation / Brendan Fund and mailed to 2361 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, NY 10306.
The FCA would like to extend our appreciation to the Siller Family for all the hard work they do in the memory of Stephen who is also our Hero along with the other 342 firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty on 9/11/2001.

Remembering 9/11
On August 12th some 20 Australian firefighters will be running across the USA from the Santa Monica pier and running into Ground Zero on September 11, 2010 in remembrance of 9/11.
