Four Houston firefighters died Friday while responding to a massive 5-alarm fire at a motel, a city official told FoxNews.com.

The local medical examiner’s office says three victims died at the scene, while the fourth died at a hospital. Five others were injured and are hospitalized for chest pains or leg injuries.

MyFoxHouston.com reported that over 100 firefighters battled the blaze in sweltering temperatures.

The fire broke out just after noon Friday at a restaurant and club at the Southwest Inn on U.S. 59, one of Houston’s most heavily traveled expressways. Flames spread to the motel part of the building and were still shooting from the roof of the structure more than an hour later.
