In our new Vlog series, Dinges Fire Company CEO, Nick Dinges, talks about how Vanguard Gloves got their MK name, and how Vanguard and DFC started working with the FDNY FF Michael Kiefer Fund.
We're excited to welcome Emily Webel to the DFC team as our Director of Communications! Welcome to the crew Welcome Emily! Lucky to have you 😊 Welcome Emily! Welcome to an awesome group of people it’s a great team to be on.
September 11th is a reminder of how fragile life is and how strong we can be when we stand together. On this 25th Anniversary of the day so life-altering for our country and the fire service, we remember FDNY Firefighter Michael Kiefer, the first responders who went running toward danger, all those who were affected by the aftermath in one way or another, and those who have worked so hard to support the fire community in the years since. Where were you when you first heard the news? This is awesome Nick. This is wonderful. I had no idea that is what t he MK represented...I will hang onto the pair I have forever 🧡 This is amazing!
