An FDNY firefighter was tragically killed while battling a five-alarm blaze in Brooklyn Saturday night, officials said.

Officials say garbage and debris on the sidewalk, and a couple of cars were on fire at the location before a large explosion occurred.

Following a busy brush fire season, FDNY deployed AI-powered camera systems at city parks for early fire detection.
