Several of the volunteer firefighters who had responded to the initial fire remained unaccounted for Thursday, Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said.
One of those firefighters is Morris Bridges. His son, Brent Bridges, 18, said the family has been told that he is still missing and probably didn't make it.
Brothers Robert and Doug Snokhous are also among the volunteer firefighters unaccounted for.
Though in Florida, Marqee Snokhous spent the early morning calling every hospital in hopes of finding that her father, Robert Snokhous, and uncle were among the injured, and not the missing or dead.
As of 12:30 p.m. Thursday, she said the family still had not received confirmation about the fate of her father or uncle.
“There’s not been anything official but the mayor did call my stepmom,” she said. “He told her that he’s pretty sure that they’re both inside the business in the plant, trapped in there. And that there’s a pretty high probability that there’s no survivors there.”
