While the firefighters were in the process of extinguishing the remaining hot spots, an ammonia tank inside the building exploded, causing a major collapse of the structure. F. F.

Cavaliere was 49 years of age and a member of the department for seven years at the time of his death. He was survived by his wife, Marie Paedo and seven children. He was buried on February 14, 1925 at the Fairview Cemetery in a section called "Hero's Corner." This special place was donated by the owner of the cemetery, Frederick Alson-Garner, who reserved this place of honor for firefighters and police officers who were killed in the line of duty.
