KANSAS CITY —Authorities are investigating a partial building collapse in downtown Kansas City.
Just before 8:30p.m. Tuesday, the Kansas City Fire Department crews responded to reports of a building collapse in the 1200 block of Wyandotte Street, according to Battalion Chief Riley Nolan.
Crews reported that parts of the brick facade and some of the parapet had separated from the building and fallen to the sidewalk and street below. An exclusion zone was established on the south and west sides of the building to keep pedestrians from getting near the building.
KCPD assisted by blocking Wyandotte Street in both directions. DRONE 1 was ordered for aerial views of the structure, as well as to provide an interior search, which came back all clear. Dangerous Buildings was ordered and was on scene. Wyandotte Street will remain closed from 12th Street to 13th Street throughout the night. No injuries were reported at this incident.
