March 27 (UPI) -- Thousands gathered Tuesday at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City for the funeral of firefighter Michael Davidson, who died last week battling a blaze on a Harlem movie set.
A flag-draped New York Fire Department truck carried Davidson's coffin to the cathedral as mourners gathered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Dozens of motorcycles escorted the truck to its destination and officials shut down portions of the street.
