Four veteran firemen were also injured in the collapse, one very critically. Reilly was one of 138 firefighters who had responded to the the fire at a 99-cent store in the Bronx.
Reilly had just graduated from the academy in early July, realizing a life-long dream. Prior to joining the fire department, he had served with the Marines in Iraq.
