Viewings today for firefighters killed in Kensington blaze
Fellow firefighters are set to gather for viewings for two Philadelphia firefighters killed while battling a massive warehouse blaze earlier this week.
Sixty-year-old Lt. Robert Neary and 25-year-old firefighter Daniel Sweeney were killed Monday when a wall collapsed while they inspected a building adjacent to a warehouse where a massive fire had erupted.
Viewings for each man are scheduled for Friday, along with a memorial service for Neary. A memorial service for Sweeney is scheduled for Saturday, the same day as funerals for both men.
Officials say the warehouse where the fire started had been the subject of numerous complaints and its owner had been repeatedly cited for failing to maintain the property.
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
