POSTED: 7:13 am EDT July 31, 2006
MALVERNE, N.Y. -- It's being called a tragic accident.
A volunteer firefighter in New York state was crushed to death between his firehouse and a rescue truck being driven by another firefighter.
Authorities in Malverne, in Long Island's Nassau County, said Paul Brady, 42, was doing routine maintenance on top of a Malverne Fire Department heavy-duty truck Sunday morning.
A Fire Department spokesman said Brady fell off the truck when another firefighter, not realizing he was on it, drove forward.
Spokesman David Gildea said Brady was wedged between the truck and the building. He suffered massive injuries and was taken by an ambulance to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:11 p.m. Sunday.
Gildea said Brady was a great fireman and a great friend to the entire department during his six years of volunteering.
The driver of the truck was not charged or cited. Investigators believe Brady's death was an accident.
The Nassau Highway Patrol Bureau performed a safety check on the rescue truck and then returned it to service.
