Hometown Hero: Selfless FDNY Lieutenant Works To Help Others

PATCHOGUE, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Kristin Brocato who nominated her husband, Mike Brocato, of Patchogue.

Mike works for the FDNY. Here's what his wife had to say about him:

Mike is the most selfless person I have ever met. He’s constantly helping those around him, always available to friends and family and serves as a Lt. for the FDNY. He’s worked his way up and is currently studying to be promoted to captain. Mike is the most kind and generous person I have ever met. He will always show up and be there for all.

Thank you for all you do Mike Brocato!
