A firefighter from Belgium has died while riding in a New York City Fire Department boat that collided with a charter boat, city fire officials said Saturday.
The FDNY boat was in the East River when the collision occurred Friday night. An FDNY firefighter and three civilians were also injured in the crash and taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Officials did not release the identity of the Belgian firefighter, but the New York Daily News reported that he had befriended FDNY officials a few years ago.
It was not immediately clear why the firefighter was in the boat and the cause of the collision.
