On Monday, FDNY probationary firefighter Brendan Stackpole officially joined the firehouse where his late father, Capt. Timothy M. Stackpole, began his FDNY career.
Since he was a child, Stackpole was inspired by his father to serve in the FDNY, as told by the New York Daily News. He was sworn in on Friday to Ladder 147/Engine 281 in Brooklyn as part of the 295-member class, marking the FDNY’s 150th anniversary.
Last month, Stackpole and Matthew Asaro, the son of firefighter Carl Francis Asaro who was also killed on 9/11, laid a wreath in a tribute at the 9/11 Memorial honoring the 343 fallen members of the FDNY.
