“#FDNY firefighter who responded to Ground Zero dies of COVID-19<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A veteran FDNY firefighter who responded to Ground Zero has died from COVID-19, officials announced Sunday.<\/p>\n

Joseph Ferrugia, 61, a 30-year department veteran, is the first active FDNY firefighter to die from the illness, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis horrific illness has taken far too many lives, and now it has killed a man who bravely served New Yorkers for three decades,\u201d FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe ran toward danger his entire career, searching for those trapp<\/a>ed by flames and doing all he could to save them. Our entire Department mourns his loss,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

Upon joining the FDNY in 1990, Ferrugia, of Long Island, was assigned to Ladder 142 in Queens.<\/p>\n

Recently, he served in the department\u2019s Rebreather Unit, training members and responding to major underground emergencies, officials said.<\/p>\n

He leaves behind three adult children and three siblings, the FDNY said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
