They were involved in a five-alarm fire at an abandoned cold-storage warehouse. Two of the fire fighters became disorientated during an interior search for individuals reported to be living in the warehouse. They radioed a mayday and an organized crew of four fire fighters initiated a search.
At this hour the fire emergency still continues. All six are missing and presumed dead.
