Firefighters responded late Friday afternoon to reports of a partial collapse of a vacant structure at 7th Street and Indiana Avenue in Kansas City.

“There was nobody hurt and nobody trapped,” said James Garrett, Kansas City Fire Department battalion chief.

The two-story brick building already had been slated to be demolished, Garrett said, adding that Friday’s partial collapse likely would expedite those plans.
