BROOKLYN (AP) — A blaze in a Brooklyn warehouse on Monday killed a New York City fire lieutenant who had responded to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
FDNY Lt. Richard Nappi was the first city firefighter to die in the line of duty in three years, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference.
A second firefighter was hospitalized in stable condition, but was later released. Four others suffered minor injuries.
