Fatal Blaze In Basement Of Dallas High-Rise

A three-alarm fire erupted in a Dallas high rise Thursday morning, killing three workers, injuring three other people and forcing the evacuation of 2,800 office workers, fire officials say. The three subcontractors killed in the fire were working in a thermal storage tank that is part of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning unit in the basement of the building, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said during a Thursday afternoon news conference.
The victims were identified as 60-year-old Nicacio Carrillo, his nephew, 43-year-old Luis Carrillo and 36-year-old Oscar Esparza-Romo.
