Phoenix Fire updates search for Oswaldo Montoya

Phoenix Fire Captain Todd Keller provides an update on the missing worker, Oswaldo Montoya, who is believed to be trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building.

The search is a slow-moving process because there's so much heavy debris, and firefighters say there's the possibility of another collapse.

Crews are searching for a missing worker who hasn't been seen since the roof of a Phoenix warehouse collapsed during a monsoon storm on July 24.

A large crane is on the scene, lifting away heavy objects.

Phoenix Fire hopeful to find missing worker

The Phoenix Fire Department is optimistic they will be able to find Oswaldo Montoya who is believed to be buried in the rubble of a collapsed building from the July 24 monsoon storm. FOX 10's Nicole Krasean has the latest.

Victim identified

The victim's family has identified him as 22-year-old Oswaldo Antonio Montoya Torres, who's worked as a forklift operator at the warehouse for at least the past year.

He's also the father of a 2-week-old son.

His family is frustrated with the pace of the rescue operation.

"It’s everything still the same. We don’t know where he’s at. We’re still unaware, you know. We know he’s in there because everybody saw him," said Judith Montoya, Oswaldo's sister. "There’s co-workers that come talk to us. They said, ‘Oh, we saw him going in the room.’ Maybe he didn’t hear the storm, you know, and I don’t know. It’s just so much right now."

Officials say this is still considered to be a rescue operation because of something called the "Rule of 4's." In general, people can live four minutes without air, four days without water and four weeks without food.

There are other factors – the victim is young, but it's also 110°F for the second day in a row.
