FDNY 21-year veteran not expected to survive after suffering serious head injury during training
Firefighter William P. Moon II, a 21-year FDNY veteran, was critically injured inside his Brooklyn firehouse and is not expected to survive, officials said.
He was treated for his injuries by his fellow firefighters and was then rushed to Kings County Hospital in critical condition, officials said. "Our hearts are broken for Firefighter Moon's family and friends, and for our entire Department. He spent his life helping others, here at the FDNY, and on Long Island, as a volunteer Fire Chief. Firefighting was in his bones, and he embodied the spirit and passion of our Department. He was passionate about organ donation, and just as he saved countless lives working out of the firehouse, he will continue to save lives in his passing," said Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh.
