FIREFIGHTER INJURED AT NEW JERSEY THEATRE COLLAPSE

Around 1500 today, the Millville NJ FD received a call that there had been a partial collapse at a theater, and about 20 minutes later, there was a larger collapse. Workers had been restoring the historic theater. A crew of about a dozen workers were inside the Levoy when one of them noticed the plaster beginning to slip in the north corner. It gradually opened up a 6-to-8-foot gap before three walls and all the steel came down. All of the workers escaped injury. A 25-year veteran Millville firefighter suffered a broken left ankle or leg, with the secondary collapse.
