Philadelphia officials say an unoccupied warehouse had been cited several times and the city was preparing to take the property owner to court before a massive blaze that killed two firefighters.
Sixty-year-old Lt. Robert Neary and 25-year-old firefighter Daniel Sweeney were killed early Monday after battling the fire. They had gone into an adjacent building that caught fire to inspect it when a wall and roof collapsed. Two other firefighters were injured.
