An inferno in a Bronx 99-cent store killed a probationary firefighter yesterday and critically injured a decorated lieutenant after a catastrophic floor collapse trapped the duo and three other Bravest in a smoky hell for nearly an hour. Michael Reilly, 25, a Marine who served in Iraq and realized his dream of joining the FDNY just last month, died after tumbling with colleagues into a basement when an air conditioning unit plunged through a burn.ing roof and through the ground floor. For an agonizing hour, rescue workers from across the city desperately struggled to reach Reilly, of Engine Co. 75, and his colleagues. But it was too late to save the probie. That sucks so bad. |
