Philadelphia Firefighters Heading To Help Search And Rescue After Florida Building Collapse

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some Philadelphia firefighters are now heading to Florida to help with the search and rescue effort after the deadly condo collapse. They're part of Pennsylvania Task Force One, which sent 70 members to Surfside on Wednesday night.

The group will drive to South Florida and then help in the search for those still buried in the rubble since the Champlain Towers building collapsed last week.

So far, 16 people have died and more than 140 others are still missing.
