Phoenix FD gives update on missing worker in roof collapse

Published 2024-07-25
Phoenix Fire confirmed during a news conference on Thursday that the cause of the collapse was from a microburst when a severe thunderstorm rolled through the area on July 24.

Fire crews searched as much as they could overnight, using dogs and drones, but then backed out for safety.

"This is a partial roof collapse right now, so we are worried about secondary collapses. We are working alongside structural engineers, our partners and stakeholders, to make sure that our members are safe to go inside," Phoenix Fire Capt. Todd Keller said on July 25.

On Thursday night, dogs went into the building to look for the worker, and they alerted crews to a certain area. However, after cameras and listening devices went into the building, nothing was found.

"We're not going to stop until this individual is found," Phoenix Fire Capt. Todd Keller said. He says technical rescue teams will be working 12-hour shifts until a person is found.
