Durham Building Fire Kills Firefighter, Injures Two

Firefighters battled a large building fire early Thursday near Marly Road and U.S. 70. The roof partially collapsed. One Durham firefighter was killed. Two others were hurt and taken to a hospital; reports said those injuries were not life-threatening. Officials told the public to stay clear of the area. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is assisting Names of the firefighters had not been released. Left-, center-, and right-rated outlets reported the same facts on the death, injuries, collapse, timing, and location. Nothing in the record contests those points. Still unresolved: the fire's cause, how the collapse happened, and the firefighters' identities.
