One person was rescued overnight as crews race to find anyone else who may be inside a partially collapsed apartment building in Davenport, Iowa
While “no known individuals are trapped in that facility,” rescue teams with search dogs are still scouring the wreckage Monday morning, Davenport Chief Mike Carlsten said. He said no fatalities have been reported. Still, “the building is structurally unsound, is posing a risk to responders,” Carlsten said. He said structural engineers are on site as first responders prepare to shift from rescue operations to recovery.
“I live in the building just next to it, and we heard just like a large crash,” Andrew Sommer, a former tenant of The Davenport, told CNN affiliate KWQC. “Shortly after, we went outside and saw the whole section of the building gone.” Initially, seven people were rescued and more than a dozen others escorted out of the building. An eighth person was found overnight and taken to a hospital, Carlsten said Monday. The cause of the collapse has yet to be determined.
