At a press briefing Monday, Florida state fire marshal and chief financial officer Jimmy Patronis, director of the Department of Emergency Management Kevin Guthrie, and Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett described the scope of the search and rescue efforts continuing around the clock following the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo building. Watch their remarks.

I can't believe that gentlemen approached the Mic and said the Governor can't get a break! Did he really say that as over 100 people lying underneath 12 floors of concrete? Unbelievable.

The building was not taken care of period The word Maintenance means to maintain.

Enough with the sad stories, accolades, and reputations of the first responders! There will be time for patting of backs and press conferences AFTERWARDS. Looks more like a big cover up of something that Florida's politicians do not want us to see until THEY can tell it. And then, it will be history.😪

This isn’t about politics or your re-election!
This isn’t a sermon. Anyone realize the times “I” is used in this video?
Where are the deceased? Gov DeSantis —- you have a job! What are we doing?
Nice tan!

Reminds me of Trump lining up his staff/supporters to praise him. Let's see if little trump does anything once the findings come in. My guess is no, get the praise now but refuse to support anything that will prevent this from happening again.

Omg what a shitshow! Who cares about the Governor! What about the victims?
This never should have happened!

The republicans have to give them selves respect before the tax payers! This is why infrast. Is needed! No to everything that can save a life! Failure of these republican states while convincing the tax payers that vote for them nothing is wrong!!😠😠greed and corruption!😠😠

its just so depressing. i dont feel much hope that there's survivors.

[josephgrzechowski]

Unprecedented BS. What happened to the VICTIMS OF THE COLLAPSE ???

[meoff]

Florida was so prepared for something like this they had to get foreign Nations to pitch into help. LoL, way to be ready.

Listen, we all have to face the fact that at ANYTIME, one movement of one piece of tiny concrete can have this condo collapse even more.
It's gotta be so frustrating for the families...
But.... THESE ARE THE REAL FRONT LINE WORKERS.
Someone right now is risking their lives with the risk of having the building collapse even more with... ANY movement they make.
Over 3 days without water, sadly, the unaccounted for are most likely deceased. I just hope that they went quickly.
Bless everyone that's involved trying to give hope to these families.
And after this rubble and people are removed and identified, SUE WHOEVER'S FAULT THIS IS FOR BILLIONS.

They are not going to find a single person alive on purpose😡😡😡😡

[hokeywolf]

I wish all those people were each picking debris off the pile. It would probably be gone by now.

[Supportingtruth]

Why do people praise people for doing what they should do...stop praising the governor... smh

[johannahidalgo]

I’m over 50yrs old and I have never ever seen a building like this one collapse the way it did, I wonder if racism had something to do with the delay in fixing it and god knows what else has been going on in these government departments down in Fla.🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

[najahchatman]

I am praying for the family members. It is very sad upset still missing. I am praying right now to the family uncle’s nephews still missing 😭😢🌹💔🎈🕊

[dannmarceau]

It's a good thing DeSantis got rid of those pesky regulations, those building inspectors were a real pain.

[lancettehunter]

He doesn’t need accolades who cares about him. He’s not doing search and rescue
