Daniel Beirne
Job Description? Firefighter, Captain, City of Elizabeth Fire Department.
Why I chose this career? Looked up to my Father, Grandfather, and uncles, who were all were first responders. Ultimately the bravery of first responders on 9/11 was so admirable, being a firefighter was career goal.
Proudest moment of my career? Being promoted to the rank of Fire Captain this past March 2024.
Something people would be surprised to know about me... Father was police officer but I went opposite route as firefighter.
