Firefighter's Die in Argentina

[tperez102]

Let us not forget the sacrifices firefighters make all over the world to protect human life. To often their lives are cut tragically short , doing what they love.  I can't imagine what it would be like to search for a loved one thru this a brother or Sister .  I pray if criminal intent was at play here , that those responsible are made responsible . Not the first time for Iron Mountain. Please keep them in your prayers .

Looks like the Fire Chief also was killed by the collapsing wall. It appears the collapse occurred well into the advanced stage of this fire.  FFs had roof had already collapsed, FFs had reentered warehouse.  The 25 ft exterior wall collapsed on crews.
