A three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, trapping people under rubble, the New York City Fire Department said, CNN reports.
The collapse on Flatbush Avenue was reported around 4 p.m. in a largely residential part of south Brooklyn, according to the department. FDNY units are operating at the scene.
The department said two people are being evaluated and rescuers are still searching for others trapped inside. Video from the scene shows four firefighters pulling one victim from the debris and placing them on a stretcher. CNN says responders sent drones to help in the search and used flashlights as daylight faded.
As of press time, CNN doesn’t say what caused the collapse, how many people are trapped, or how serious the injuries are.
