1 Firefighter Dead After Philadelphia Building Collapse

Five firefighters and a city inspector were trapped. Four of the firefighters and the inspector were rescued or escaped.

One firefighter has died after being trapped in a building that caught fire in Philadelphia and then collapsed early Saturday, fire officials said.

The fallen firefighter was not immediately identified, but Deputy Fire Commissioner Craig Murphy said he was a 27-year department veteran. "It's going to be a rough few weeks coming up," Murphy said at a media briefing around 8 a.m.

The building had caught fire just before 2 a.m. Saturday, Murphy said. The fire had been put out, but then the building collapsed at 3:24 a.m.
