On Thursday new details were revealed about the fallen firefighters, who were killed in a massive fire at the Porterville city library on Tuesday afternoon.
They were on Engine 71, the first crew to arrive at the scene.
Of the three firefighters who were on that truck, only one survived.
Two died trying to rescue others.
"The focus was to ensure that they had a primary search and a primary clear that all of the citizens had made an exit," said Captain Joanne Bear of the Tulare County Fire Department.
It turned out, everyone who was in the library when the fire started made it out.
But firefighters searching inside the building gave a May Day call and were never heard from again. Figueroa was found by the rapid intervention team.
He died after being rushed to a local hospital.

But it took much more to find and recover Jones.
"We had resources from LA City and LA County with their HR dogs," said CAL FIRE Battalion Chief Jeremiah Wittwer. "We utilized them last night and then we came in for a secondary search this morning."

While the investigation into the arson continues, the police chief said the young age of the suspects is presenting challenges. State law prohibits officers from even interviewing the 13-year-olds who they believe intentionally set the blaze.
"So once we determine that they were suspects in the crime, there were no more questions for the juveniles, we have to rely on other investigative means, you know, to confirm their involvement," said Porterville Police Chief Eric Kroutil.
The police chief confirmed evidence has been collected from the suspects and search warrants have been served. He said due to the suspects' ages, they will not be tried as adults in a criminal court.

"Patrick was quick to make friends with everyone in the department and known for always having a smile on his face. Patrick was always quick to help any of his fellow brothers or sisters on or off duty," fire officials wrote on social media.
Jones had just started his training to become an Acting Engineer.
On Thursday morning, the outpouring of love from the community continued. Food deliveries remained constant- to feed the fire crews sifting through the debris. Flowers were added all day to a growing memorial to comfort the broken hearts of Porterville firefighters.
The Porterville fire station is being manned by other agencies right now - to allow firefighters to mourn. On Thursday, the Clovis Fire Department answered all 911 calls for service.
