  Aug 16, 20262h 18mS5

  Today I had the honor to chop it up with Retired FDNY FF JIMMY LOWE. FF Lowe began his career as a volunteer in the Hempstead Long Island VFD. Upon his appointment to the FDNY he left the volunteers. Jimmy has over 33 years on the FDNY, starting in 1991 he’s was assigned to Engine 332 in East New York, Brooklyn. In 1997 he’s transferred across the floor to Ladder 175. In 2002 FF Lowe transferred up to the Bronx to 33 Truck. Then went over to Rescue 3 in the Bronx. Rescue 3 covers The Bronx and Harlem. FF Lowe retired at the very beginning on 2025. FF Lowe had an amazing career and worked in very busy companies, gaining a ton of experience. He has made numerous rescues of children at fires and also responded to FDNY Line of duty death Fires, including the Vandalia Ave Fire and The Walton Ave Fire. He has received numerous unit citations and a Service “A” Medal for his efforts at fires throughout his career. FF Lowe has also competed in numerous cooking competitions as fundraisers for various FDNY charities. Thank you FF Lowe for your service to the city of New York serving on the FDNY. And thank you for sitting at The Kitchen Table. Good luck in retirement. All links to DRAGER are below the description. DRAGER AIR BOSS. MADE FOR AMERICA.
