The FDNY dedicated a plaque and street Wednesday to William Tolley, the longtime New York City firefighter and Bethpage resident who plunged off a Queens roof last year, down five stories to his death.
The plaque, unveiled late in the morning at Engine 286/Ladder 135 in Ridgewood, , immortalizes Tolley as a man “who made the supreme sacrifice” when he died at age 42 on April 20, 2017.
The street, 66th Place, near Myrtle Avenue, was then named in Tolley’s honor.
