- ABC News reported that rescue operations were underway after a building collapsed in Brooklyn, New York, with the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) credited as the source of the account. The outlet's summary states that "Multiple firefighters responded to the scene."

The available reporting consists of a single ABC News headline and summary. According to ABC News, the summary does not describe the extent of the collapse, the number of people believed to be in the building, or whether anyone was hurt or trapped. Those details are not part of the material available for this report.

The summary also gives no cause for the collapse and no time at which the emergency began. Because the headline attributes the account to the FDNY, the rescue information is presented as coming from the department, while the summary names no other officials or agencies.

The collapse and the rescue effort are therefore described here only at the level of detail ABC News provided in its headline and summary. Any additional information contained in the full ABC News report is not reflected in this account.
