A city Bravest was killed in a ferocious Brooklyn house blaze Sunday afternoon — two years after he gave a moving eulogy for a fellow firefighter who also died in the line of duty.
The inferno at 10826 Avenue N in Canarsie turned deadly when flames suddenly swept through the second floor — sending smoke-eaters leaping from windows and part of the structure caving in on itself, fire officials said.
The dead Bravest, Timothy Klein — the 31-year-old son of a retired fireman — apparently became separated from his comrades and was fatally injured in the structural collapse, according authorities and sources.
Eight other firefighters also were injured, either in the collapse or from burns, officials said.
