This Valley Stream firefighter follows in his late father's footsteps as an FDNY EMTs

Posted

The Valley Stream Fire Department applauded their own Jason Field of Engine 4 for graduating from the FDNY Emergency Medical Services Academy on June 21. Field is taking after his distinguished late father, Mike Field, a Valley Stream native, an EMT who was a first responder during the Sept. 11 attacks, and a former captain of the village fire department. He died on April 8, 2020 at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital of complications of the coronavirus. He was 59. Mike’s two other sons, Richard and Steven, have also followed in their father’s footsteps serving as FDNY EMTS.
