Today I sat with Retired FDNY Captain Steve Elliott. Capt. Elliott has 33 plus years on the FDNY, starting out at L-30, The Harlem Zoo, in 1991. He was promoted to Lt. in 2003 and was assigned to L-4, The Pride of Midtown. He was then promoted to Captain in 2008 and was assigned to L-23, Vinegar Hill, where he served as the longest tenured Captain, at 14 years. Capt. Elliott has numerous unit citations and 2 medals including the Hugh Bonner medal and the Elsasser Medal. Capt. Elliott was also involved in a Life Saving Rope Rescue. Along with all that Fire Department experience, Capt. Elliott also served as a United States Marine, and was deployed to the Persian Gulf to assist in liberating Kuwait, in Operation Desert Storm. He also assisted in incidents in Somalia and humanitarian efforts in Bangladesh. Capt. Elliott’s experiences are second to none, I learned a lot from him in this interview and got to know him better as a person. It was truly an honor to listen to his story. Thank you and I hope everyone enjoys the interview.
