Six firemen - Divisional Officer Andrew Quinn, Leading Fireman Alastair Crofts, and Firemen Iain Bermingham, Allan Finlay, William Hooper and Duncan McMillan - entered the to rescue their colleague James Rook, who had been trapped by collapsed shelving and stock.
The firemen were in the process of taking Mr Rook to safety when all seven were killed as the result of a flashover.
