A building collapse after a fire left a 27-year veteran of the Philadelphia Fire Department dead, while four other firefighters and a L&I supervisor were rescued from the rubble.
Five were rescued from the fire, including Fire Marshal Sylvester Burton, Lieutenant Clarence Johnson, Firefighter Dennis Daly and Firefighter Robert Brennan, Jr., and transported to Temple University Hospital. Supervisor with Emergency Services Unit at L&I Thomas Rybakowski was also trapped and rescued from the rubble. He and Lt. Johnson and Lt. Burton were treated at Temple and released. Brennan and Daly are in critical, but stable condition, officials say.
Officials say four people were initially rescued from the collapse at different times, with one jumping from the second floor to escape. John DiGiulio, an official with the Philadelphia Water Department, described the scene as "100s of men and women, who risk their lives to save ours, risking their lives to save two of their own."
