8 People Rescued in Partial Building Collapse in Iowa
A search and rescue effort was winding down in Iowa on Monday after the partial collapse of a six-story apartment building the day before, officials said.
The Davenport Police Department said its officers and firefighters responded on Sunday at about 5 p.m. to a report of the collapse at 324 Main Street in Davenport, a city along the Mississippi River in the eastern part of the state.
Overnight, more than a dozen people were escorted out of the building and eight were rescued, Chief Michael Carlsten, of the Davenport Fire Department, said at a news conference on Monday. One man was taken to the hospital, but Chief Carlsten did not know the man’s condition. There was no information about other injuries.
