We mourn the passing of Firefighter Patrick Brady, whose bravery this city is deeply indebted to.
For 11 years, he put the safety of others before his own, serving selflessly and courageously. New York City is forever grateful for his service and sacrifice.
Our hearts are with his wife, family, and loved ones as they face this unimaginable loss.
The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker announced the line of duty death of Firefighter Patrick Brady. The 42-year-old served our great Department for 11 years.
On Saturday, November 8th, Firefighter Brady was operating on the roof of a fire at 9407 Kings Highway in Brooklyn when he went into cardiac arrest. FDNY Firefighters and EMS quickly moved to treat Brady. He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center where he passed away.
Firefighter Brady was appointed to the FDNY on July 14, 2014. After graduating from the Fire Academy, he was assigned to Engine 227 in Brooklyn, before transferring to Ladder 120 in 2022.
