A partial roof collapse occurred at a large commercial building in Phoenix, Arizona, leaving at least one worker unaccounted for. The Phoenix Fire Department reported that the warehouse in west Phoenix experienced the collapse during a storm, causing damage to the roof and backside of the building. The building’s instability prevented firefighters from entering the structure to search for the missing worker.
Phoenix Fire Urban Search and Rescue teams were on the scene to assist in the search efforts, using a drone and rescue dogs to locate the worker. The missing employee was reported to have been operating a forklift at the time of the collapse. The search for the worker was ongoing as the building remained standing, with crews working to ensure the safety of those involved.
The incident is still under investigation, and authorities are working to determine the cause of the roof collapse. The situation is constantly developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. The safety and well-being of the missing worker and all involved in the search and rescue efforts are the top priority for responders on the scene.
