An FDNY firefighter suffered a medical episode and died while battling a Brooklyn apartment building blaze, officials announced Sunday.
Patrick Brady, 42, was working on the roof of a burning building on Kings Highway near E. 94th St. in East Flatbush late Saturday when he went into cardiac arrest, officials said.
His fellow firefighters and FDNY medics attempted lifesaving measures before he was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital but the 11-year FDNY veteran couldn’t be saved, officials said.
“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,” Mayor Adams said early Sunday. “Firefighter Brady came from a family of firefighters — all dedicated to protecting the lives of their fellow New Yorkers.”
