FDNY Foundation Donates $25,000 to Scholarship Fund for Children of Lt. Brian J. Sullivan

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro today announced the death of Lieutenant Brian J. Sullivan, 54, of Squad Company 41 in the Bronx. Lieutenant Sullivan, a 27-year veteran of the Department, suffered a fatal heart attack at his home in Monroe, NY, Friday evening, after responding to a fire in the Bronx. The FDNY Foundation has contributed $25,000 to a scholarship fund for the children of Lt. Brian Sullivan.

The FDNY Foundation has set up a scholarship fund for Lt. Sullivan’s daughters. Please click here to donate: https://www.fdnyfoundation.org/donate/

“Lieutenant Sullivan was a veteran fire officer and a dedicated member of our elite Special Operations Command who bravely served the Department for nearly three decades,” said Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro. “The city and the entire Department mourn the loss of this brave individual who spent his career protecting life and property and rescuing others from harm.”

Lt. Sullivan is the 1,153rd member of the FDNY to die as a result of injuries sustained in the line-of-duty.

This is a tragic loss for the Fire Department and for the City of New York. Our prayers go out to his wife Irene, and daughters Nicole and Samantha.
