An 11-year veteran of the FDNY died in the line of duty Saturday after responding to an “all-hands fire” in Brooklyn, Mayor Eric Adams said.
According to the FDNY, firefighter Patrick D. Brady was working on the roof of 9407 Kings Highway near Brownsville when he suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest. Officials said he was treated by his colleagues before he was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center and died.
“Firefighter Patrick Brady gave his life protecting the city we all love; there is no sacrifice that is more selfless than the actions that took place this evening,” Adams said in a statement. “I would like to express my deepest sympathy to his wife, Kara, and his entire family during this difficult time.”
