"Keep my mother in your thoughts, pray for my family, and remember her for the hero that she was," Fuoco said.
Russo was the 1,158th member of the FDNY to die in the line of duty, and the second EMS to die in the line of duty in the last five years. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul directed flags on state buildings be flown at half-staff in honor of the slain EMS lieutenant.
