Emergency responders escort fallen Del. firefighters

Delaware blaze Leach, 41, a 14-year veteran, and Fickes, 51, a 13-year veteran, died while battling a rowhouse fire in the Canby Park neighborhood Saturday when the first floor collapsed under them. Multiple firefighters were trapped in the basement after the collapse. Firefighters Ardythe Hope and Brad Speakman were transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, Pa., and remain hospitalized in critical but stable condition. Two others were treated for injuries related to the fire. There are few details surrounding the cause and origin of the fire. The Wilmington Fire Department has turned over the investigation to the State Fire Marshal's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The residents of the home were able to escape. Show Thumbnails Show Captions Last SlideNext Slide Investigators continued to pore over the scene of the fatal fire Monday morning, digging through what was left of the charred rowhouse. The house itself resembled little more than a brick shell, with the interior walls, blackened and charred, visible from the street. Many Wilmington Fire Department vehicles sat parked on the block and bouquets of flowers were wedged into the chain link fence in front of the home. Plastic kids' toys were strewn through the yard, along with bags of used coffee cups and bagged trash from more than two days' worth of investigation. Earlier this year, volunteer firefighter Tim McClanahan, 46, died during a training exercise in Sussex County, Del. His procession from the state Medical Examiner's Office in Wilmington back down to Lewes stretched miles and... (USA TODAY)
