Mayor Eric Adams and Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker today announced the line of duty death of Firefighter Patrick D. Brady, 42, an 11-year veteran of the Department. On Saturday, November 8, Firefighter Brady was operating on the roof of an all-hands fire at 9407 Kings Highway in Brooklyn when he suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest. Firefighter Brady was immediately treated by fellow FDNY Firefighters and FDNY EMS. He was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he 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,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Firefighter Brady came from a family of firefighters — all dedicated to protecting the lives of their fellow New Yorkers. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to his wife, Kara, and his entire family during this difficult time.”
“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. We are thinking of his family, friends, and fellow members as we join them in mourning this immense loss,” said FDNY Commissioner Tucker. @FDNYFoundation@UFANYC@NYCFireWire@NYCEMSwatch@FDNYFC@NYCMayor #fdny
