Four firefighters died in a five-alarm blaze that broke out at a restaurant Friday afternoon, according to the mayor's office.

An arson explosive task force was assigned to the investigation at the scene of the fire, said Franceska Perot, spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
