for the New York's Bravest were awarded Wednesday, and three special FDNY members
were the first to be awarded the new Yadira Arroyo Medal.
Mayor Eric Adams, FDNY members and elected
officials gathered at City Hall Park on Wednesday to commemorate those who put
their lives on the line as part of the city’s fire department.
The
ceremony marked the first time the award in honor of the late Yadira Arroyo was
given out. Arroyo was an FDNY EMT killed in the line of duty in 2017.
Lt. Dwight Scott, EMT Christopher Juanilla and EMT
Tiffany Robeldo all received the Yadira Arroyo medal, after they risked their
lives to protect people inside of a pharmacy where a person was stabbing
multiple customers in December 2021.
A
total of 72 members of the FDNY received medals Wednesday for brave actions
performed while on duty.
