Partial building collapse probed

January 18, 2024 By Tracy F. Seelye, Express Editor

WHITMAN — Chief Timothy Clancy reports that the Whitman Fire Department responded to a partial collapse in a vacant building on South Avenue on Wednesday Jan. 10.
A 911 call reported a collapse at a one-story building at 356 South Ave. at 9:32 a.m., according to Clancy. Upon arrival, firefighters found that a portion of the front wall had fallen over. No injuries were reported. That portion of the building is vacant and unoccupied. It is attached to a two-story building, which was not damaged. 
Firefighters quickly secured the building. National Grid and the building inspector were notified. Crews cleared the scene at 10:13 a.m. Traffic was not affected. The cause of the collapse remains under investigation.
