A veteran FDNY firefighter, Patrick Brady, died after a medical episode and cardiac arrest while battling a five-alarm fire on Kings Highway in Brooklyn.

FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker and New York City Mayor Eric Adams honored Brady’s sacrifice and dedication to protecting New Yorkers in statements.

Brady is survived by his wife Kara and two brothers, Jimmy and Brian, both FDNY firefighters, with other FDNY relatives noted as part of a firefighter family.

The cause of the apartment fire remains under investigation and funeral arrangements are pending.

Purple and black bunting were placed on the exterior of Ladder 120 to honor Brady, and the fire was disclosed as a five-alarm blaze during a news conference.

The Brooklyn fire originated as a five-alarm blaze on the roof of 9407 Kings Highway.

The report notes Brady’s death occurred Saturday night, with Sunday morning coverage, and references a related firefighter death in the SC Fire Department for context.

More than 200 FDNY members attended a vigil at Brookdale Hospital to honor Brady, who was later carried from the hospital in a flag-draped casket to the medical examiner’s office.

More than 250 firefighters gathered outside Brookdale Hospital for a dignified transfer as Brady’s flag-draped body was carried out.

Colleagues described Brady as a larger-than-life figure who brightened rooms, with heartfelt tributes at Brookdale Hospital and during a bunting ceremony at his home firehouse.

A bunting ceremony and dignified transfer were held at Brady’s Brownsville firehouse to honor his life and legacy.

Brady is the 1,163rd FDNY member to die in the line of duty, and his death marks the second FDNY line-of-duty death in the past two weeks.

This recent tragedy follows the October 29 death of Paramedic Salih Abdur Rahman, another FDNY member, noted in reporting as the department’s second LODD in two weeks.
