We regret to pass on the Line of Duty Death of FDNY Supervising Fire Marshal George Snyder Jr.
SFM Snyder suffered a cardiac episode after working last Friday, and the 53-year-old died the next day.
SFM Snyder began his career with the FDNY in May 2002, and was first assigned to Engine 36 in Harlem before transferring to Engine 47 in Morningside Heights.
Snyder became a fire marshal in 2009 and was promoted to Supervising Fire Marshal in 2019. He was assigned to the Special Operations Command, where he headed up the Lithium-Ion Battery Task Force.
He is survived by his mother, three sisters and a nephew.
Our condolences to all those affected. Rest in peace.
