UPDATE: Funeral for FDNY firefighter Timothy Klein set for Friday
"Timmy understood the risks, we all do, growing up in a firefighter family," cousin Keith Klein said."Timmy leaves behind his parents who adored him, three younger sisters who idolized him, a beautiful girlfriend was devastated, understandably. Countless uncles, aunts, cousins, and childhood friends. It's quite a loss."
"The incident commander identified deteriorating conditions and ordered all members out of the building," acting FDNY commissioner Laura Kavanagh said at Brookdale University Hospital, where Klein was pronounced dead."As they were doing so, there was a partial collapse of the ceiling. Four members were caught in that collapse. Three made it out and are stable in local hospitals at this time.
Richards was a resident with autism who was unaccounted for in the fire and reported missing by relatives.
