A rescue operation is underway to save firefighters trapped when a building collapsed in northern Philadelphia, the city fire department says
A Philadelphia firefighter died early Saturday in a building that collapsed soon after a fire there was extinguished, while four comrades and a city worker were pulled alive from the rubble, a fire official said.
The collapse of 300 W. Indiana Ave. in the city's Fairhill neighborhood came shortly before 3:30 a.m. -- about 90 minutes after firefighters were called to fight the fire there -- and sent colleagues scrambling to rescue those trapped inside, 1st Deputy Fire Commissioner Craig Murphy said."Our department lost a member bravely fighting a fire and then caught in a building collapse after the fire was over," he said."We just finished up pulling ... our brothers out of this place.
