We regret to pass on that a Houston firefighter died and another was injured in the Line of Duty while operating in a warehouse fire late last night.
42-year-old Firefighter Marcelo Garcia lost his life in a collapse. It occurred after Houston firefighters responded to that warehouse fire in the 6600 block of Polk around 2250. Soon after arriving, a 2nd alarm was transmitted. A minute later, around 2305 hours., a Firefighter called a mayday for a wall collapse. A third alarm was then struck. More to follow.

The injured Firefighter is stable.
Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
