A structural engineer was expected to investigate on Saturday what caused a roof to collapse in western Kentucky, damaging at least three businesses.
Shattered glass and debris were found in the street when authorities responded late Friday in downtown Henderson, the fire department shared in a post on Facebook.
Someone had called 911 to report an explosion, but the fire department said the roof of one building collapsed. Then, a wall between that business and another collapsed, causing the building’s roof to come down and damage a third adjoining business.
Officials don’t believe an explosion occurred.
The structural engineer was to determine the integrity of the building and assess whether it will need to be torn down.
No injuries were reported.
