HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Bail has been set for the woman accused of setting fire to a vacant warehouse that killed a Houston firefighter. First responders began paying their respects to Marcelo Garcia III Sunday morning.

The procession is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Sunday from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, with the Houston Fire Department and Houston Police Department lining the streets to escort Garcia’s body to Forest Park Lawndale Funeral Home .

Garcia, 42, died Wednesday night while battling a vacant warehouse fire on Polk Street near Wayside Drive in the Greater East End.

Yesenia Espinoza, 38, was accused of intentionally starting the fire with red light and combustible objects.

Charging documents state that investigators used facial recognition software to match Espinoza’s face from the surveillance video to her previous photo. They say the video shows her leaving the building with several bags in a black and white dress.

Investigators believe the intensity of the flames caused a wall to collapse during the fire. Firefighters later extricated Garcia from the rubble, who was pronounced dead at the hospital.

He is the 83rd Houston firefighter to die in the line of duty.

“This indictment is the first step in a long healing process for the firefighters of this city,” said HFD Fire Chief Thomas Muñoz. “I want to express my personal gratitude to our Fire Bureau, the Houston Police Department and the METRO Police Department for their cooperation in this investigation.”

Houston City Councilman Joaquin Martinez said he was good friends with Garcia and they attended Milby High School together. Garcia served with the Houston Fire Department for 10 years and spent the last six at Station 23 on Lawndale Street on the southeast side of the city.

Espinoza was charged with first-degree arson. She faced a Harris County judge Saturday night and her bond was set at $100,000.

Garcia’s public viewing will be held on Tuesday, November 12th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Forest Park Lawndale Funeral Home, 6900 Lawndale. His public funeral service is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday at Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral, 1111 St. Joseph Pkwy.

Mayor John Whitmire is asking Houstonians and commuters to turn on their vehicle headlights Wednesday to honor Garcia.
