00:10We're out here at 5th and Central on scene of a building collapse.
00:14That's a code for us.
00:15It's a 54Charlie1 is how it came out.
00:17We had reports of a building collapse and crews responded.
00:20We have crews from Station 1 and Station 4 here.
00:22Station 4 is our heavy technical rescue station, so this is one of the things that they're
00:27trained to do.
00:28Where we're at right now is there are no reports of injuries.
00:31When crews arrived on scene, they confirmed that and then worked to start evacuating some
00:35of the adjoining structures of this building.
00:37So structures have been evacuated, no injuries have been reported.
00:41Utilities to the building have been secured.
00:44As most of you know, this building was deemed a substandard, not for occupancy, so it has
00:49been vacant for a couple weeks now.
00:53The whole second story was vacant and it was just the first floor that was occupied.
00:57So we're waiting for engineers at this time to figure out what we're going to do with
01:02the building to assess any more structural collapse risks and also to figure out how this building
01:07is going to be brought down or how they're going to remove the parts of it that are at risk.
01:11Due to the partial building collapse, we do have some road closures in the downtown area,
01:15specifically affecting the intersection of fifth and central.
01:20We ask the public that they use caution, they listen to the road closures and sidewalk closures
01:25and walk on the opposite sidewalk.
01:33So we're going to walk on the opposite sidewalk.
01:55So we're going to walk on this road.
01:57We're going to walk on this road.
