FDNY Lt. Michael Davidson died a year ago Saturday while fighting a raging blaze in Harlem, and his grief-stricken colleagues made certain New Yorkers will never forget his sacrifice by installing a plaque in his honor at their firehouse.
Davidson, 37, was nozzleman for the crew that headed into the building, where a movie was being filmed, after actor Edward Norton alerted police to smoke coming from the basement, The Post reported at the time.
Separated from his team as it retreated from the advancing fire, Davidson was later found unconscious and rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He’s survived by his wife Eileen and four young kids.
Davidson was cited for bravery four times during his 15-year-career.
Earlier this month, a judge refused to toss his estate’s suit against the film company, Class 5 Inc.
