Idris Bey

Idris Bey was born in Brooklyn, NY. In 1993, Bey began his career at Station 35 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as an FDNY EMT. Bey took part in rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero and since 2002 had been assigned to the FDNY’s EMS Bureau of Training. During his extraordinary career, EMT Bey responded to countless calls for help in Brooklyn, and then took his experience and dedication to our academy, where he was responsible for the lifesaving training received by thousands of FDNY members.
