Terribly sad. My sympathies to his family and all the FDNY force.

A young man & apparently a very brave one. Tragic.

Fire fighting is dangerous business. Fire gives no quarter and has no remorse. It is a testament to firefighters skill and knowledge that so few are lost each year.

A brave man has been lost, full honors shall be given. His family should be cared for.

I hope an endowment can be put in place for his wife and daughters. They will need a monthly check for decades to replace this brave man.

Geez, I wonder if Michael is the brother of Scott Davidson, a firefighter who was killed on 911, who's son Pete made an appearance on SNL.

Scott did have a brother named Michael as is listed in Scott's obit.

Scott Davidson, 33, firefighter, was fierce sports competitor.

Does not appear to be related...No mention of any relationship from NY media I found...

He worked Eng Co. 69 in Harlem, for a time with his father who recently retired...He reportedly has a brother Eric assigned to Eng. Co. 88, also FDNY...

Firefighting is a dangerous business with so many ways to get hurt or die...It’s also quite often a family affair; sons, daughters, brothers and sisters follow in dad’s and uncle’s footsteps...

Rest in Peace, Brother!
