A firefighter was killed while responding to a building fire Saturday in Brownsville, according to officials.

The flames broke out just after 9:30 p.m. on the sixth floor of the building at 9407 Kings Highway.

It took a total of 12 units and over 60 first responders to control the blaze.

First Deputy Fire Commissioner Mark Guerra identified the deceased firefighter as 42-year-old Patrick Brady.

Authorities say he was operating on the roof when he suffered a medical episode and went into cardiac arrest.

Brady was an 11-year veteran of the department. Mayor Adams also says he came from a family of firefighters — all dedicated to protecting the lives of people in New York.

Shortly after his death, the FDNY saluted Brady as his body was wheeled out of the hospital.

In a statement, FDNY Uniformed Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro said, “The entire firefighting family mourns the heartbreaking loss of one of our own — Firefighter Patrick Brady. Every time a firefighter leaves the firehouse, they accept the real and constant risk that they Pmay not return home. Firefighter Brady made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the people of this city, and his passing is a devastating reminder of the dangers our members face every single day in service to others.

Patrick came from a proud FDNY family — a legacy of courage, dedication, and love for New York. His loss will be felt not only in the firehouse but across the entire city that he served with such honor. On behalf of the UFA, I extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Kara, his brothers Jimmy and Brian, and the entire Brady family. We will stand beside them and ensure that Patrick’s bravery and commitment are never forgotten.”
