DAVENPORT, Iowa — Firefighters and other first responders are being credited with saving lives – at great risk to their own safety – after a six-story apartment building in Iowa partially collapsed, authorities said Monday.
Fire Chief Michael Carlsten said workers searched for survivors throughout the night and rescued one person from the six-story building — bringing the total number of people rescued by fire officials to eight. An additional 12 people were escorted out by fire crews when they first responded to the collapse on Sunday evening.
Reports of bricks falling from the building earlier this week were part of that work and the building’s owner had a permit for the project, Oswald said. Tadd Machovec, a Davenport contractor, told the newspaper he was inside putting up a support beam when the building came down.
