No one was hurt when a building partially collapsed in Springdale on Sunday afternoon, the borough’s emergency management coordinator said.

The collapse of the building on Railroad Street between James and Center streets was reported around 1 p.m.

The middle of the roof of the storage building owned by R.I. Lampus Co. collapsed, emergency management Coordinator Bruno Moretti said.

Nobody was inside at the time, and the building was empty.

Because the collapse compromised the roof and floor of the building, an excavator was brought in to tear the building down after power to it was cut.
