VANCOUVER — Emergency crews sifted through debris with the help of a vacuum truck Friday at the site of a partial building collapse, searching for a person…
Trevor Connelly, the assistant deputy chief of operations for Vancouver Fire Rescue Service, said their efforts remain focused on rescue as they looked for the missing person a day after a small loader fell through the rooftop parking lot into offices below.
“It’s a very unstable, dangerous situation, painstaking work. Very physical, very tiring. The crews spent the night removing large chunks of concrete in order to get to the bottom of this collapse.” “We have attempted to try and make contact and we have not had any responses or any noises that indicate a location,” he said. “We will be continually reassessing the safety of the site, the conditions that we’re experiencing, but at this point, our plan is to proceed indefinitely as a rescue operation until we have some good reason not to.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
“We have not located the missing worker at this time, but we are making much better progress now that we have the vacuum truck in place to remove most of the loose dirt,” he said in an interview late Friday afternoon.
