Soul Patrol is a portrait series of FDNY firefighters by The Content Campus, its name a nod to the first firefighter unit.

The firefighters are photographed in full turnout gear beside their engines on the streets of New York, alongside quieter frames: boots and an axe by Engine 119, breathing apparatus laid out on the pavement, a firefighter holding his young son in front of the truck.
