A Brooklyn firefighter will not survive the injuries he sustained during a fall earlier this week, and his organs will be donated to save even more lives, Mayor Eric Adams and Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh announced Friday.
Firefighter William P. Moon II, a 21-year FDNY veteran, was preparing for a drill inside of his Brownsville firehouse on Monday when he fell approximately 20 feet and suffered a serious head injury. He was immediately treated for his injuries by colleagues before being rushed by FDNY EMS to Kings County Hospital in critical condition.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for New York’s Bravest, and for our entire city,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “Firefighter Moon was a dedicated public servant, who spent more than two decades saving the lives of New Yorkers and will continue to do so in his passing. We join the entire Fire Department and every New Yorker in mourning his loss, and pray for Firefighter Moon, his family, and his friends.
Moon, a resident of Islip, New York, was stationed to Rescue Company 2 on Sterling Place. He was first appointed to the department on May 5, 2022, when he started his career at Ladder Company 133 in Queens. He worked there for two decades before being detailed to Rescue Company 2. When he wasn’t making daring rescues and putting out fires for the FDNY, he was doing it for the Islip Volunteer Fire Department on Long Island, for which he also served as Chief of Department in 2017.
