The widow of fallen FDNY firefighter Lt. Michael Davidson has settled with Ed Norton’s film company over the blaze that took her husband’s life five years ago on the film set of “Motherless Brooklyn,” new court papers show.
Eileen Davidson settled her suits over the March 22, 2018, death of her husband with production companies including Class 5, Inc., according to documents filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week.
She also settled with the landlord of 773 St. Nicholas Ave., the Harlem building where the fire broke out, the filings show.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and lawyers and reps for the parties didn’t return requests for comment Monday.

FDNY investigators have said a faulty boiler sparked the deadly blaze.
Displaced residents of the building also filed suit against the landlord and film company and those cases have since been settled.
