Joe Torrillo was a 25 year Lieutenant with the NYC Fire Dept. who is now retired on disability. He spent the first 15 years of his career in Engine Company # 10, across the street from the South Tower of the World Trade Center. While recuperating from a severe injury on New Years Eve of 1996 going in to 1997, Joe was assigned to convalesce in the office of fire safety education.
Eight months into this "light-duty" position, Joe was ultimately named the Director of this public-based program. In his new position, Joe would co-design a children's state-of-the-art fire safety learning center, which opened in October, 2000.
This new venue, "The Fire Zone ", in the heart of Manhattan, was nominated and won the coveted "THEA" award at the Emmy's in 2002. Shortly thereafter, in January of 2001, Joe worked on a project with Fisher-Price Toys to help…

The Price Tag of Greed, An Overvie of a Chutes and Ladders Life
In a world where all too often the ownership of materialistic things becomes a person’s priority, people in general have an insatiable need to satisfy their every want and desire. Unfortunately, greed often leads to a life of crime and other misdeeds. Truth be told, after all is said and done - most people end up losing much more than ever stood to gain. Along with their losses, come severe regrets that compromise their happiness, dignity and respect forever. Additionally, their families often pay the cost of their unsavory behavior as well. Joe was a poor kid from an Italian ghetto in Brooklyn, New York who was exposed to a life of crime as a young kid. Instead of following in the footsteps of gangsters, he earned his way in to the most accomplished and respected organizations in the world, the New York City Fire Department. Hear the stories of people of fame and notoriety who threw it all away for the sake of illegal and immoral actions. Using simple arithmetic, people will be amazed how devastating costly greed inflicted mistakes can be. Everyone from the Mafia to missionaries will be discussed, and attendees will think not twice, but a hundred times, before they themselves fall to errant ways. The final message to the audience is simple: It can take a lifetime to build a reputation, but you can lose it one split second.
Putting the Spark in your Company’s Fire
This is a corporate focused presentation focused on bringing all levels of employees and managers together, and re-identifying the intent of a person being dedicated to their work or job. Joe parallels his own career as a 25 year Lieutenant with the N.Y.C. Fire department as both a labor leader and an upper manager. The end result has “the workers” and “the boss” recognizing and appreciating each others’ contribution to the efforts of the company.
Teamwork Now More Than Ever
In a weak economy, with constant threats of downsizing and layoffs, human behavior will fester in many different ways. Competition has always been the name of the game and will always be what most employees consider their path to job security. Unfortunately, at the end of the day a company suffers from cut throat competition. All Firefighters consider every “save’ and every rescue a team effort and rightfully so. Why not take a Firefighter’s attitude, carry it to the common workplace, and instill the concept of teamwork for the benefit of all. Joe inspires all levels of employees to keep a “Team State of Mind” in all of their projects and job duties. Attendees leave this session with a renewed sense of their important individual role as a part of the Team!
From Devastation to Inspiration
Buried alive twice on the day that everyone remembers where they were when America was attacked 4 times in 3 different locations; Joe survived with major life threatening injuries. Listen to Joe how he recounts every second of being buried twice, and his road to recovery and inspiring audiences around the world.
