Thousands gather for FDNY firefighter funeral in Manhattan

Funeral services for 15-year FDNY veteran Christopher Slutman, who was killed this month while serving with the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan, were held Friday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.

The 43-year-old father of three died April 8 near Bagram Airfield U.S military base. Two other members of Slutman’s Massachusetts-based Marine Reserve unit also were killed.

Slutman was with Ladder 27 in the Bronx. He was awarded a medal for bravery after rescuing a woman from a burning apartment. Slutman had a residence in Yonkers but his family lived in Delaware.
