Members of the FDNY honored a firefighter Sunday to mark one year since he died while on duty.

The department held a line-of-duty plaque dedication for Lt. Patrick D. Brady.

Brady died when he went into cardiac arrest while battling a fire in Brooklyn.

Brady's wife, Kara, thanked the department for all their support and says the station on Watkins Street was very important to him.

"Today's plaque dedication represents so much more than Pat's name on the wall. It represents the brotherhood he cherished, the friendships he built, the laughter he brought to this house and the family he found at Watkins Street," Kara Brady said.

The FDNY also unveiled a special memorial dedicated to Brady, created by his friends and colleagues.
