\n An off-duty FDNY EMT took his own life on Long Island this week, marking at least the third EMT in the city to die by suicide this year during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

EMT Brandon Dorsa, 36, died on Wednesday, after serving the city at the department for nearly six years, officials confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department mourns the loss of EMT Brandon Dorsa, app<\/a>ointed on October 6, 2014 and assigned to EMS Dispatch Operations,\u201d the FDNY said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Dorsa had suffered severe psychological and physical injuries when an SUV rammed his ambulance in Brooklyn in 2015, according to news<\/a> accounts of the resulting lawsuit, from which he won an $11.5 million settlement.<\/p>\n

In April, new EMT John Mondello, 23,\u00a0 fatally shot himself in Astoria; in June, Lt. Matthew Keene, 38, fatally shot himself in Nyack.<\/p>\n

Oren Barzilay, the president of the FDNY EMS Local 2507, the union representing the department\u2019s emergency medical service workers, said the union has been pushing for years for increased support for workplace trauma \u2014 especially after the pandemic hit the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are saddened to hear that another FDNY EMT has taken his life,\u201d Barzilay said in a statement. \u201cPTSD is very common among EMS providers, not just here in NYC but throughout our country, more so in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cEMS needs additional resources to help us cope with the exposure EMT\u2019s & Paramedics are faced with on a daily basis,\u201d Barzilay said, adding, \u201cthe increasing level of seeing death on a daily basis, and on top of it poverty wages, combine it all, it has proven to take a toll on those in the front lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s suicide prevention hotline number is 1-888-NYC-WELL (1-888-692-9355).<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
