Nancy Carbone

There's some, you know, there's a couple of nonprofits out there.

Nancy Carbone runs a great one down in Brooklyn.

You know, so they get these guys that are, you know, when you're 50 years old, you might be old for firefighting, but you're not old in human terms.

Right.

I'm David Dachinger.

25 years ago, right around 9/11, Nancy Carbone walked into Brooklyn Firehouse and asked a simple question, "What can I do for you?" And that question turned into a lifeline for thousands of FDNY families, and soon that lifeline will be changing hands, and we've got the founder and the new leader side by side to tell you how it happened and how it keeps going.

This is Responder Resilience.

This episode is brought to you by FightCamp, real training on your schedule.

We understand the culture, honor the trust, and bring you conversations from the change-makers passionate about helping first responders come home whole.

With your hosts, Retired Lieutenant David Dachinger, Dr. Stacy Raymond, and Bonnie Rummellie, LCSW EMT.

We'd like to welcome our guests today, Nancy Carbone and Chrissy Neufsi.

Nancy's the founder of Friends of Firefighters.
