On Sunday, November 8, the FDNY Foundation joined the FDNY for a plaque dedication ceremony for Lieutenant Patrick D. Brady at Engine 231/Ladder 120/Battalion 44 on Watkins Street in Brooklyn.
Lt. Brady, of Ladder 120, suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest on Nov. 8, 2025 while operating on the roof of a building during a fire in Brooklyn. He later died at an area hospital.
The FDNY Foundation joins the FDNY in remembering Lieutenant Brady. We remember and honor him for his 11 years of service, commitment, sacrifice, and dedication to the FDNY and the City of New York. Lieutenant Brady will never be forgotten.
“In the FDNY, we are a family, and we take this very seriously. We are tightly stitched together in a fabric of mission and love for this Department,” Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. “When we lose one of our own, we vow to Never Forget. All of you gathered here today are a testament to that promise. We know the walls of this firehouse are not the same without Pat. We know his presence is felt all over the place.”
Lieutenant 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.
Lt. Brady joined the FDNY on July 14, 2014. He is the 1,163rd member of the Department to die in the line of duty.
