Incident Description: Firefighters Paul Cahill and Warren Payne both
passed away from injuries received while inside of a working structure
fire. Cahill and Payne, along with other firefighters, were working a
hose line inside of a restaurant. Heavy smoke conditions caused the
firefighters to become disoriented. A large air conditioning unit then
fell through the roof of the restaurant initiating rapid fire progress.
Multiple firefighters were trapped and injured. After being rescued,
reports indicate that eight firefighters were treated and released from
the hospital; two firefighters remain hospitalized being treated for
smoke inhalation.
