At 4:01 p.m. Wednesday, the FDNY responded to 1321 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn for a collapse of a three-story, multiple-dwelling building into an adjacent construction site.
Units arrived within one minute and immediately started search-and-rescue operations. Two people have been pronounced dead, and more than 15 others have been injured as of 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"Multiple people from the building and the construction site were trapped," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. "This will be a prolonged operation. Collapse operations are extremely dangerous. Every move is choreographed and critically important to patient outcomes and member safety. Members have been working methodically and haven't stopped since they arrived this afternoon."
More than 250 fire and EMS personnel responded, and search efforts in coordination with the NYPD were ongoing Wednesday night.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation.

Qatar PM says “positive discussions” with POTUS/VPOTUS on Iran deal:
It was great meeting with President @realDonaldTrump and Vice President @VP in Washington. We discussed the situation in the region and ways to progress the US-Iran talks. Grateful for the positive discussions on reaching a deal and bringing peace to the region.
President Trump’s press briefing was so impromptu tonight, they didn’t even have the Presidential seal on the podium.
President Trump is scheduled to meet with the Prime Minister of Qatar at noon tomorrow in the Oval Office.
When President Trump and the Qatari Prime Minister sit down tomorrow with their teams in the Oval Office, they plan to discuss the recent demands by both the US and Iran regarding the conflict between the two countries, a source familiar with the upcoming discussions, tells @NewsNation
VP JD Vance has remained in constant, nearly daily contact with the Qatari Prime Minister and his team throughout the negotiation process, I’m told.
