The body of a firefighter's 7-year-old daughter was found in the debris of the Florida condo collapse

• The daughter of a Miami firefighter was found dead at the Florida condo collapse, officials said.
• The 7-year-old's father was working at the disaster site. Her identity hasn't been released yet.
• At least 20 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 120 people are still missing.

The young daughter of a Miami firefighter working at the disaster site of the deadly partial Florida condo collapse has been found among the victims, officials said on Friday.

Search-and-rescue crews "were able to identify a child whose father worked for the city of Miami Fire Department," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press briefing on the collapse.

The daughter was 7-year-old, officials said. They haven't released her identity yet.

"These are tough things for them," DeSantis said of the rescuers. "Obviously we focus on the families and rightfully so, but our folks have gone through a lot that are out there."

An anonymous rescuer told WPLG Local 10 that a fellow first responder, the child's father, made the heartbreaking discovery Thursday night as crews were searching through the debris at the crumbled 12-story Champlain Towers South in Surfside.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Alan Cominsky said members of the Urban Search and Rescue Team, Florida Task Force 2, found her.

"We're out there in different work groups. So out of the work groups that go through, they were a part," Cominsky said at the briefing. "The father wasn't part of that process, but obviously was notified."

Members of the search-and-rescue team carried the victim's body from the site and her father draped his jacket over her and put a small American flag on the gurney, the anonymous first responder told WPLG Local 10.

"Each rescue group, when we come across an individual, we pay our respect," Cominsky said.

"We do that and we honor all the loved ones we lost," he said.

At least 20 people have been confirmed dead in the horrific June 24 collapse of a massive wing of the oceanfront condo tower. More than 120 people remain unaccounted for.

Search-and-rescue operations at the site of the catastrophe were temporarily halted much of Thursday over fears that the rest of the structure could collapse.
