Several weeks ago, Ambelas was honored by members of Williamsburg’s Hasidic community for saving the life of a 7-year-old boy who became trapped in a roll-down metal gate on Skillman Street back in May. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lt. Gordon Ambelas while saving yet another life, less than 10 days after we were honoring him for saving the life of Mendy Gotlieb,” said Rabbi David Niederman, executive director of the United Jewish Organization of Williamsburg and North Brooklyn. “We express our deepest condolences to the family and we keep his two young daughters in our prayers. We also want to share our condolences with the FDNY as a whole, and specifically Ladder 119, and the Hooper Street station-house. Lieutenant Ambelas’ memory will live on in Mendy and the many others he saved, and of course in the precious family he’s leaving behind.” Ambelas was the first firefighter to die in the line of duty since April 2012, when Lt. Richard Nappi of Bushwick’s Engine Co. 237 succumbed to cardiac arrest while fighting a Flushing Avenue blaze. A resident of Staten Island, Ambelas is survived by his wife, Nanette, and their two children.
