Story highlights Accident occurred on Savannah's River Street

Firefighter died of apparent medical condition

(CNN) A Savannah firefighter died on Saturday in a rescue mission after a dock collapsed in the Georgia city.

Master Firefighter Michael Curry suffered an "apparent medical condition" and later died at a Savannah hospital, the city fire department said.

He was a 13-year veteran of the department.

The dock -- which connected passengers to a ferry crossing -- sent people into the Savannah River when it gave way.

The incident occurred along River Street, a popular tourist destination in the city. Thirteen people were hospitalized, and another 30 suffered minor injuries.
