Managing Director Brian Abernathy said officer Jose Novoa was 62 years old and had served in the department for 27 years.
Novoa, who worked in the 9th district, leaves behind a wife, two daughters and two granddaughters.
Novoa's death comes one day after the Philadelphia fire department announced the line-of-duty death of a firefighter who was battling COVID-19.
Firefighter Eric Gore passed away Tuesday at Temple University Hospital.
