The adorable daughters of an FDNY firefighter who died in the line of duty honored their heroic dad during a plaque-dedication ceremony in Brooklyn on Wednesday morning.
Lt. Gordon “Matt” Ambelas, 40, perished on July 5 in a Brooklyn apartment blaze, leaving behind wife Nanette and their little girls, Giovanna, 6, and Gabriella, 9.
A plaque commemorating his sacrifice will hang at the firehouse of Engine Co. 211 and Ladder Co. 119, where Ambelas worked. “We dedicate this plaque in his memory, fulfilling our solemn vow that this department will never forget his service and his sacrifice,” FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said.
