Authorities described him as a 27-year veteran but did not identify him pending notification of family.
Six first responders — five firefighters and an inspector from the city’s Department of Licenses and Inspections — had initially been trapped in the collapse at 3:24 a.m. on the 300 block of West Indiana Avenue in the city’s Fairhill section. It followed what Murphy said was a “pretty routine fire” shortly before 2 a.m.
First responders blanketed the blocks around Third Street and West Indiana Avenue shortly after 7 a.m., where dozens of firefighters, police and paramedics stood in a near-motionless crowd surveying the scene.
