Three firefighters were killed at the scene, while the fourth died at a hospital, according to the mayor's office and local medical examiner. Another 13 were injured and are hospitalized. The injuries range from heat exhaustion to one firefighter hospitalized in critical condition in the intensive care burn unit.

"Today will go down as the worst day in history of the Houston Fire Department," Houston Mayor Annise Parker said. "The most loss of life ever."
