The fire started around 1 am this morning and later in the operations after the fire was out, FF Harris was working on the roof when he fell through onto the floor inside. Sketchy, early reports say that next either the roof or the wall then fell on him crushing his diaphram. FF Harris had been on the FD since 1991. He has a son who is also a DFD member.
