Full Throttle 06/24/19 12:50:53 AM #1:	Do you think there should be an age cut off to be a firefighter? - Results (1 vote) Yes. at a certain age, people are too old to be a firefighter and will do more harm for them 0% (0 votes) 0 Nope. i think it should be open to ALL ages. if they can handle the physical demand for the job, then let them 100% (1 vote) 1 A Navy SEAL who was declared "too old" to join the New York City Fire Department has WON his battle to become one of them after New York state passed a bill that increases the age limit and allows him to achieve his dream!! Special Operations Chief, Shaun Donovan, who has roots in Staten Island, was told in 2017 that he was above the 35 age limit to become a firefighter. He was 35 when he applied, but was 6 months and 25 days too old to be under consideration. Under the current law, military members can be 6 years older than the FDNY age limit of 29, but the Navy SEAL who served 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan had missed the cutoff by 7 months The Senate voted unanimously to pass the bill that allows a vet of 7 years, once he or she reaches 29, can join the FDNY Governor Andrew Cuomo is expected to sign the law His attorney, Kevin Carroll, who was working the case pro-bono said Shaun is thrilled of the outcome The FDNY has one of the strictest age caps in the country with Boston a close second at 32 Donovan, whose military service ends in 2020 said it was disappointing at first as he took the test and applied and at no point did t hey say he couldn't even get the job cause of his age. He even scored in the top 1% of the written exam and passed the physical with ease. But his dream was to be a firefighter and Democrat, Andrew Gounardes said there's a special place in his heart of the FDNY as he co-sponsored the bill to increase the age limit. Mayor Bill De Blasio was also pleased with the passage who said "If you're a veteran who was served his country proudly, your age shouldn't be a barrier to continue serving our fellow" Donovan became a SEAL in 2005 and garnered several medals of valor and captured the interest of fire depts in other cities such as Denver and SF but his heart was in New York.
