For the past 2 years, photographer Benjamin Dicker has been documenting the Members of the New York City Fire Department. From their heroic feats of bravery at fires to the laughs and smiles surrounded by their brothers and sisters. As an artist, he believes photographs should be tangible. You should be able to hold and pause to feel what you are viewing opposed to scrolling through your phone or computer, that is why/how this series was born.
Fire Diary Volume 2 isn’t a magazine or book, it finds its place somewhere in between. Printed on thick 100lbs paper, it contains 100 pages of images captured in 2025 of the FDNY. A handful of photographs have been seen on social media, but the majority have never been published before.
