Leader envoy visits injured firefighters in hospital

Seyyed Reza Taghavi attended two Tehran hospitals and conveyed the greeting and prayer of the Supreme Leader for quick recovery of the injured firefighters.

One of the firefighters who had been critically burned and transferred to the hospital on Thursday, confirmed dead on Friday.

Head of Iran's Emergency Medical Services, Pir-Hossein Kolivand, said on Thursday that following the collapse of the Plasco Trade Center many firefighters are feared dead.

The fire in Plasco Trade Center, which is one of the biggest in the Iranian capital, collapsed Thursday morning as the fire started in the seventeen-storey business building in the early hours of Thursday, despite efforts by Tehran firefighters to stop it.

A center for making apparel, the Plasco center soon was engulfed in a big fire that caused the collapse of a wall in the building's northern side and its final total collapse.
