The life of a 37-year-old firefighter was taken on Wednesday after a major, 4 alarm fire happened on Main Street in downtown Buffalo just around 10 AM. The fire caused an explosion and a collapse at the DC Theatricks building.

Former congressman Chris Jacobs owns the building and apparently, paid $1.3 million for the building. People, though, on social media are making some unfair assumptions about motives at this time.

Jacobs ended his reelection campaign in June of last year.
