Services will begin Tuesday for the FDNY firefighter from Long Island who died suddenly after responding to a fire.

A wake will be held for Jesse Gerhard at Chapey and Sons Funeral Home in East Islip from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.

Gerhard's funeral is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at St. Patrick's in Bay Shore.

Gerhard died just one day after responding to a two-alarm fire in Far Rockaway.

He was a seven-year veteran with the FDNY, and also volunteered in Islip.
