Fdny responds to partial building collapse in the bronx

Bronx, NY – The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) responded Monday afternoon to a partial building collapse at 57 East Burnside Avenue in the Bronx. Officials confirmed that there were no serious injuries.

According to FDNY Battalion Chief Christopher Ganci, crews from Engine 75 and Ladder 33 arrived to find that an approximately 150-foot section of wall had collapsed during ongoing demolition work. The debris fell onto a sidewalk shed in front of the structure.

Emergency responders immediately conducted a search of the area with assistance from rescue and squad companies to ensure no one had been trapped beneath the debris. “After a search by the rescue, squad, and the units on scene, it was determined that there were no victims. No personnel were missing from the site,” Chief Ganci said.

Firefighters secured the area and confirmed that the remaining portions of the building were stable before turning the scene over to the New York City Department of Buildings and the Office of Emergency Management for further inspection and investigation.

Authorities said that while the collapse caused significant property damage, the sidewalk shed likely prevented more serious injuries by catching much of the falling debris. The cause of the collapse remains under investigation by city officials.
