Firefighters honor hard working health care workers on coronavirus front line in NYC (Video)
By RonnySteel
New York City firefighters were recorded in a line honoring, celebrating and showing heartfelt to heroic hospital workers who have been working very long days and nights treating coronavirus patients.
This heart touching scene was filmed Friday night as FDNY personnel with the 22nd Battalion saluted workers at Richmond University Medical Center with applause in front of the Staten Island facility.
NYPD cops joined in to salute the workers as well.
As the FDNY and NYPD cheered for the healthcare workers, Nurses, doctors and other hospital workers showed their gratitude for the officers and firefighters, coming out in their scrubs to salute them as well. The salute means a lot, Daniel Messina, the hospital’s president and CEO, told the Staten Island Advance.
“It’s really what keeps the fire in our bellies going,” Messina said. “Having the fire department and the police department just come out and recognize the staff...it’s just incredible.”
Firefighters gathered Friday in front of NYU Langone, an academic medical center in Manhattan, for a similar show of appreciation to workers there.
The firefighter and the cops were taking part in #ClapBecauseWeCare, a nightly expression of gratitude to hospital workers battling the virus in emergency wards and intensive care units.
In New York City, 63,306 people have tested positive for the coronavirus, as of Saturday morning. There have been more than 1,800 deaths.
