No injuries reported in Demopolis building collapse

The wall of a building in downtown Demopolis collapsed Monday, leaving Demopolis Police Department and Demopolis Fire and Rescue Department personnel working to verify if there were any injuries or entrapments.

Demopolis Public Safety Director Tommie Reese reported that there were no injuries as no one was inside or near the building at the time the south wall of the former Merchants warehouse crashed down. The building is located at the corner of North Main and Franklin near The Demopolis Inn.

Public safety officials contacted the owner of the building and have barricaded the area off for safety.
