William "Billy" Moon will save five people, including three New York residents who were in need of donations of a heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, according to an announcement from LiveOnNewYork, a non-profit focused on organ and tissue donation.
"Firefighter Moon was a hero in life and is now a hero in death who will live on through the gracious gifts of organ donation," the organization said.
The 47-year-old Islip resident was critically injured in an accident on Monday, Dec. 12, while preparing for a drill inside his firehouse in Brooklyn, FDNY said.
He fell about 20 feet and suffered a head injury, FDNY reported.
Moon previously served as a member of the Islip Volunteer Fire Department, and he worked as the chief of the department in 2017.
