BRYAN, TX (AP)-Two Central Texas firefighters are in serious but stable
condition as investigators try to determine what sparked a lodge hall fire that killed two colleagues.
Bryan city spokeswoman Mary Lynne Stratta said Sunday that Ricky Mantey
Jr. and Mitchel Moran are recovering at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Both suffered burns.
Fire department officials have planned a news conference Sunday to provide
additional details on the investigation.
The fire broke out late Friday at an unoccupied Knights of Columbus hall.
The roof collapsed during the blaze.
Lt. Eric Wallace died at the scene, and Lt. Gregory Pickard died later
Saturday at a hospital.
Services for Wallace are scheduled for Thursday in Bryan, located about 90
miles northwest of Houston. Services are pending for Pickard.
