A New York City firefighter was honored Monday for his sacrifice.

The FDNY hosted a plaque dedication ceremony was held for Timothy Klein, who died while battling a house fire in Brooklyn last year.

Klein was a six-year department veteran, who was also a member of the Fight for Firefighters Foundation, a nonprofit that helps fix homes for other first responders.

The plaque will stay with FDNY's Ladder Company 170, which is where Klein was stationed.
