A diverse group of New York City firefighters officially joined the ranks of the FDNY at a graduation ceremony in Queens Friday morning.

FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro presided over the ceremony at The Greater Allen A.M.E Cathedral in Jamaica.

The class of 291 probationary firefighters includes the second largest group of female firefighters in the city's history, and nearly half of the class is made up of people of color.
