A funeral procession will be held in Tehran on Monday for the firefighters who lost their lives in a massive fire and subsequent collapse of a 17-story building on January 19, governor of Tehran announced.
The governor asked citizens to congregate at the Grand Musalla (prayer hall) of Tehran at 8:30 Monday morning to attend the funeral service and pay tribute to the martyrs.
The Plasco building in downtown Tehran caught fire on January 19 morning and came down after four hours, blockading a number of people under the debris.
