8h agoThe FDNY honored the life of a probationary
firefighter who died this week after suffering a medical episode during his
training.
The
department says 31-year-old Brooklyn native Vincent Malveaux started to feel sick during a functional
skills exercise and passed out shortly after. He was taken to the hospital
where he died on Friday.
News 12 was
told Malveaux was about a
third of the way through his training.
The FDNY
honored his service on Saturday by hanging purple and black bunting at Station 19 in the Bronx, where he
worked as an EMT for four years.
His former colleagues, who
affectionately called him Pablo, were emotional as they spoke about him.
“He was a hero…every patient
he had, he was their hero…he was my brother and I will never forget him,” says
FDNY member Christian Marte.
