The Darrah School Apartments in Philadelphia's Francisville neighborhood partially collapsed Sunday night, closing 17th and Folsom streets.
An apartment building partially collapsed Sunday night in Philadelphia's Francisville neighborhood leaving debris in the street and residents feeling unsafe.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Philadelphia police and the Philadelphia Fire Board received multiple 911 calls that ranged from an explosion to a building collapse on the 700 block of N. 17th Street, Police Inspector D.F. Pace said.Upon arrival, officials said, a portion of a building, which is a converted school building, had collapsed and fallen off into the street. No one was injured on the street or inside the building.
They will also determine if any nearby buildings, such as homes in the area, need to be evacuated. Nothing has been determined at this time, Pace said."Might just be a shelter in place situation," Pace said. He noted that could change depending on the outcome of the inspection."I was just hanging out in my apartment and all of a sudden I hear a huge crashing noise. I thought it was thunder, so I was looking around, didn't notice anything.
