Oh, no. Many prayers. So sad. 

OMG the live feed is showing almost a total loss of this house!!! Many prayers! 

I drive through FC on the way home. I saw the helicopter first, then as i passed Redbud I saw three or four firetrucks and many many flashing lights. A ton of smoke. Pray for them. 

Just heard that the firefighter passed away...not sure though. 

I just hear on the news that he's injured, and we'll be updated at 6- 

Awful... 

The news channels are reporting that he was airlifted to KMC in critical condition.

I pray that he didn't pass away ... that would be awful and tragic. 

Per Channel 2:

We're told a firefighter was injured and CPR was being performed.
According to HFD, the firefighter is being transported to Kingwood Medical Center in critical condition. 

How sad for the firefighter. And the people that own that home. Looked like a nice house. How sad to loose everything. 

It has spread to another house. Prayers for all. 

Horrible. It doesn't sound good for the firefighter. The news said the mayor is on her way to KW hospital. 

Actually this was a little after 5.

KINGWOOD, TX -- A veteran Houston firefighter has died from injuries he suffered in a two-alarm blaze at a Kingwood home.

The victim has been identified as Station 104 paramedic and firefighter Daniel Groover. He has been with the department since 1993.

Authorities say Groover was one of several firefighters who responded Wednesday afternoon to a house in the 1400 block of Mistletoe Lane near Redbud.

Mayor Annise Parker says Groover collapsed while he was performing a search and rescue mission inside the house. Houston Fire Department Spokesman Ruy Lozano says a rapid intervention crew immediately went to search for him and they found him lying on the ground. Firefighters pulled him out of home and began administering CPR.

Lozano says Groover was transported to Kingwood Medical Center in "extremely critical condition." Mayor Annise Parker rushed to the hospital, where Groover died.

"It really just breaks your heart, to pay see him pay the ultimate price," said neighbor Kevin Spencer.

Authorities say they've now determined no one was inside the home at the time of the fire, but firefighters were acting on the assumption that may have been the case.

Groover is married and has three adult sons.

"Our job now as a fire department is to support Ellie, his wife and his three adult sons," said Houston Fire Chief Terry Garrison.

The cause of the fire will be under investigation.
