Today we remember FDNY FF Danny Foley (Rescue 3), an American Hero and Clarkstown legend who passed away on this day in 2020 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Danny Foley of West Nyack, NY was a graduate of Clarkstown South High School (class of 91) and Iona College where he played football . He was a beloved member of the Clarkstown community. He was a FDNY firefighter who stepped up during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. His brother Tommy (Rescue 3), tragically was killed on 9/11. After weeks of an exhaustive search, Danny would find his brother (pictured below in the white shirt).

Foley, who joined the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) in 1998 and served in Rescue Co. 3 in the Bronx, he passed away on February 22, 2020 at the age of 46 after suffering from 9/11-related pancreatic cancer.

The Foley’s will always be a legendary Rockland County family.
