Statement from Assemblyman Michael Blake on the Death of FDNY Chief Michael Fahy

 


The following statement was issued on September 27. 

Today, we were deeply saddened to learn of the death of FDNY Chief Michael Fahy from the 19th battalion in The Bronx. He was killed this morning while serving in the line of duty. Chief Fahy was investigating the odor of gas in a building when he was struck by debris from the explosion. Chief Michael Fahy was a 17 year veteran of the FDNY and father of three who dedicated his career to public service and today gave his life in service to The Bronx. It is a reminder of the dangers our first responders face every day as they serve our communities. We are grateful for our servicemen and servicewomen and the sacrifices they make to keep us safe. Our thoughts and prays go out to Chief Fahy's family and the entire FDNY family today.
