Charity groups are showing overwhelming support for the FDNY firefighter who died in the line of duty.
The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, named after a fallen 9/11 FDNY firefighter, announced Wednesday that it will be taking on the mortgage on the family home of FDNY Lieutenant Brian Sullivan.
"It is a great relief to know that my family's mortgage is going to be taken care of," said Sullivan's widow Irene.
Sullivan, a 27-year veteran of the FDNY who served with Squad Company 41 in the Bronx, died of a heart attack at his Orange County home Saturday morning after responding to seven emergency calls, including a fire in the Bronx, during his last 24-hour tour of duty.
