People are in shock over the loss of FDNY firefighter William 'Billy' Moon II, who was also a former chief in Islip
Lauren Glassberg has more on Firefighter William Moon who is not expected to survive the injuries he suffered in a fall during training.It is the time of year when local firehouses spread joy and Christmas cheer, but in Islip this weekend, the fire department and residents are grappling with a void.
His neighbor in Islip told Eyewitness News that it was only a few days ago, he was chatting with Moon, who was always comfortable with heights - whether it was fighting fires or hanging Christmas decorations. Moon's death is that much harder to take in Islip, because it is the second time this year one of their own was fatally injured in the line of duty for the FDNY.. Gerhard was also a volunteer from Islip.
