NYPD Question Man in Explosion That Killed Fire Chief
The New York Police Department says it’s questioning a man in connection with a Bronx house explosion that killed a fire battalion chief.
Chief Michael Fahy, a 17-year fire department veteran and father of three, was killed by falling debris on Tuesday morning while directing operations from the street.
He was supervising an evacuation following a report of a gas leak.
