An FDNY firefighter died in the line of duty Saturday night while responding to an all-hands fire in Brooklyn.
Firefighter Patrick Brady, 42, suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest while on the roof of a building in Brownsville, FDNY officials said. He was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he ultimately died.
“The entire FDNY is heartbroken over the loss of Firefighter Patrick Brady. Firefighter Brady was a dedicated public servant, and firefighting was in his blood,” FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said.
Brady comes from a family of firefighters. His two brothers, Jimmy and Brian, are also firefighters, as are his cousins and uncles.
Brady joined the FDNY back on July 14, 2014 and has served Ladder 120 since 2022.
“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 Eric Adams said in a statement.
Brady is survived by his wife, Cara.
