- A legacy FDNY firefighter took his final ride with his Brooklyn firehouse after 40 years on the job.
Throughout his career, 65-year-old Robert Thomas broke barriers and turned his job into a family affair.
"I said when I'm leaving I'm going to have claw marks on the floor," Robert Thomas said.
On Monday, his journey with the New York City Fire Department 40 plus years in the making came to an end after reaching the mandatory retirement age.

Let’s hear his 9/11 story
They need to stop making everything about race it’s annoying. Congrats on 40 years that’s badass. I’ve been a firefighter only 16 years and definitely not in a department with the volume of calls like that. Good on you and your family Sir I hope your sons teach their sons the same one day.
