A Philadelphia firefighter has died Saturday morning in the collapse
of a building following a fire, a city fire official said.
Five others who were trapped -- four firefighters and a licensing and
inspections worker -- were rescued from the collapse, 1st Deputy Fire
Commissioner Craig Murphy said.


"So far, several were rescued and transported to hospitals," reads the
Philadelphia Fire Department's tweet, posted at 6:05 a.m. ET. The
department still was working to rescue others, it added.
The collapse at 300 W. Indiana St. in the city's Fairhill neighborhood
happened during a fire response, the department said. Details about a
fire, the collapse or what the building housed weren't immediately
available.

3. Heard this early this morning

Just sad because the fire itself was pretty much extinguished quickly but apparently the building itself was in poor shape. I expect L&I will get an earful.
