HARLEM (WABC) -- Photos from the scene of the fire in a building in Harlem where FDNY firefighter Michael Davidson was killed on Thursday, March 22, 2018. Photos courtesy Sion Fullana (www.sionfullana.com).



Flames erupted late Thursday night at a Harlem building being used as a set for a movie directed by Edward Norton.




Davidson, who was assigned to the nozzle with the responsibility of operating a hoseline to suppress the fire, became separated from his fellow firefighters as conditions rapidly were deteriorating.



Officials say after a desperate search to locate Davidson, he was transported to Harlem Hospital where he died.



Davidson comes from a family of firefighters, including his father and brother. He is survived by his wife and four children.
