All,
We regret to pass on that a Philadelphia Firefighter has died in the Line of Duty after a building collapsed early this morning. Companies initially responded to the 300 block of West Indiana Avenue just after 2 a.m. for a fire at the three-story restaurant and residential building. The fire was put out and a family was able to escape the incident without any injuries.
As fire crews continued to work on the structure, just before 3:30 a.m., the structure collapsed while five members of the fire department and an L&I inspector (Fire Marshal) were still inside.
Four firefighters and an L&I Inspector were pulled from the rubble and transported to Temple Hospital. Unfortunately, one Philadelphia firefighter died in the collapse-that firefighter had 27 years on the job.

Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
Take Care. Be Careful. Pass It On.
