A Dallas firefighter died after falling through the roof of a burning west Oak Cliff apartment building Sunday afternoon.

Lt. Todd W. Krodle, a nearly 18-year Dallas Fire-Rescue veteran, was fighting an electrical fire that broke out about 4 p.m. in a bottom-story unit of the Ridgecrest Terrace apartments in the 5600 block of Plum Grove Lane. The flames climbed the walls and spread into the attic, fire officials said.
