The fire truck from Ladder Company 111 was responding to a fire at 315 Nostrand Ave., caused when a 17-year-old boy set off illegal fireworks, officials said. The truck had its lights and sirens on.
Brown was taken to Woodhull Hospital where he died, officials said.
Tiesha Safford said she was “confused” by how her cousin, who was a careful motorcyclist, could have been struck.
“He rides his bike pretty slow so I don’t know how he wasn’t able to hear them,” said Brown’s cousin Tiesha Safford. “I don’t understand.”
Friends told NBC 4 New York Brown was going to a memorial for a friend who died in a motorcycle crash one year ago on Utica Avenue and Avenue D in Brooklyn.
“He said he was going to change his clothes, and we were going to link up to go to the memorial for a friend of ours,” said friend Sidest Mahadi.
Brown was a stickler for rules, said Mahadi.
The teen accused of using the illegal fireworks was later arrested, FDNY officials said.
