Watch Live: Fallen FDNY Firefighter Timothy Klein's Funeral Held

NEW YORK, NY — Fallen FDNY Firefighter Timothy Klein will be honored and mourned by New York City on Friday.

Klein's funeral begins at 11 a.m. on Friday and will be streamed on the FDNY Facebook page.

Klein — who died Sunday in a blaze on Avenue N in Canarsie — is being honored with a funeral at St. Francis de Sales Church at 129-16 Rockaway Beach Boulevard in Queens where he was a parishioner, according to the department.

The 31-year-old firefighter grew up nearby in Breezy Point with dreams of joining the FDNY as his father and uncles had, family told the Post.

City officials and his family have spoken highly of his heroism and commitment to the department.

"New York City has lost one of its bravest," said Mayor Eric Adams. "He lost his life doing the job we asked of him every day – bravely fighting to save others from fire."

Klein died when a ceiling collapsed, hurting two other firefighters and their captain, according to the FDNY.

Three other firefighters scrambled to escape by jumping out of second-story windows onto ladders and a total of eight firefighters were hurt in the blaze, according to the FDNY and reports.

Carlos Richards, a 21-year-old with autism who lived in the Canarsie home, was also killed and his family have set up a GoFundMe to help his mother, who "lost everything in the fire."

Klein is the 1,157th member of the FDNY to die in the line-of-duty and the first since Jesse Gerhard, 33, died during a medical episode in February.

Two years earlier, a fellow member of Klein's Ladder Company 170, Steven Pollard, died in 2019 responding to a crash on the Belt Parkway.

Klein was assigned to Ladder Company 170 but worked in Engine Company 257 during the fire, officials said.

He is survived by his father — retired FDNY Firefighter Patrick Klein — his mother, Diane, and his three sisters, authorities said.
