Truly tragic:

Concerned that homeless people may have been taking refuge from the cold, Stringer and Ankum were among the firefighters searching the burning building around daybreak when a roof came crashing down on them. Both men died of blunt force injuries, while 17 others were hurt in the department's deadliest fire in more than a dozen years.

Those are the folks who are heros....trying to do the right thing when it costs the most....
