Five Floors Up: The Heroic Family Story of Four Generations in the FDNY

On this episode of Our American Stories, seen through the eyes of four generations of a firefighter family, Five Floors Up tells the story of the modern New York City Fire Department. From the days just after the horse-drawn fire truck, to the devastation of the 1970s when the Bronx was Burning, to the unspeakable tragedy of 9/11, to the culture-busting department of today, a Feehan has worn the shoulder patch of the FDNY. Here's Five Floors Up author, Brian McDonald, with the story.  Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
