No one was injured in the partial collapse of a warehouse building late Friday afternoon along Tyrol Boulevard in Rostraver.
Township police and firefighters responded when a portion of the structure gave way at about 4:45 p.m., according to a Westmoreland County 911 dispatch supervisor.
The warehouse is considered to be abandoned, but electrical power to the building had to be disconnected, the supervisor said.
No one was in the building at the time, according to Rostraver Police Sgt. Ron Naylor. He said the building once served as a potato chip warehouse but had not been used for some time.
