Funeral today for fallen FDNY Firefighter Jesse Gerhard. JohnBDias has more on how he's being remembered:
Fellow firefighters stood at attention, knowing quite well how heroic the 33-year-old was.
“Injuries are not always just from fire, but very often heart attacks, heart disease, other forms of stress and strain,” acting FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh said after his death. “I really can’t underestimate how truly strenuous this job is, and Jesse’s tragic loss of life shows exactly that.” “Quiet but funny, wanted to be a firefighter his whole life, and there was no plan B,” another firefighter said.
Gerhard is survived by his parents and brother, who posted on Facebook, “It’s not often the younger brother is the older brother’s hero, but you were… We are broken… You dedicated your life to saving and helping others and we weren’t able to save you.”
