MEDIA ADVISORY:
FDNY TO ACCEPT STAINED GLASS WINDOW FROM
BRITISH FIREFIGHTERS; WINDOW WILL BE UNVEILED
AT FDNY TRAINING ACADEMY
Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta tomorrow
will accept the donation of a stained glass window from firefighters
from Cornwall, England. The window, created by a 93-year-old
Benedictine Monk from Buckfast Abbey in southwest England,
will be dedicated and unveiled at Randall’s Island,
the FDNY’s training academy. The window depicts a rising
sun, the moon, stars, sky, sea and earth. The project was
sponsored by “Flight of the Phoenix World Peace 2000,”

peace. An identical window is on display in the St. Austell
Fire Station in Cornwall as a memorial to the victims of September
11, 2001.
