Long Island Firefighter Dies 4 Days After Fire

Inwood (Long Island) Firefighter, Joseph Sanford Jr. won’t be where he belongs this Christmas. His family will miss him dearly.

The 17 year department veteran succumbed to his injuries sustained in a house fire 5 days ago in Inwood. Sanford was helping to battle a blaze in the house. He was standing in the kitchen of the home when the floor gave out from under him. He was unaccounted for for several minutes before his dept. brothers found him in the basement. He fought for his life for (4) days but ultimately passed away yesterday.

Sanford is survived by his wife and daughter but his family went way beyond those who were related to him, as many firefighters are feeling the pain caused by his loss.

His loved ones have started a gofundme.com page to raise money for his wife and daughter in their time of need.

Sanford was 43 years old.

It’s always sad when these things happen but when it happens during the holiday season, it seems to be particularly harder to handle. This EZKOOL writer has already donated to the Sanford family and I ask that you do too.

Any amount will help. If you find that you cannot afford to donate, that’s okay too. Please just share Joseph’s story on social media.

Thank You and Merry Christmas from all of us here at Ezkool.com
