The office strives to create an inclusive, welcoming, and diverse working environment for everyone, and is deeply invested in recruiting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and non-binary staff to join their ranks. The panel will speak to FDNY’s efforts to mentor and support interns and staff from marginalized communities.
