BRONX - As Bronx families are left looking for housing following a partial building collapse, officials happily announced that the FDNY found no victims in the rubble. 


Firefighters worked throughout the night digging through the debris at 1915 Billingsley Terrace in search of potential victims. None were found. Only minor injuries were reported. 


At around 3:30 pm yesterday the corner wall of seven stories collapsed, revealing exposed apartments including beds, clothes and furniture.

“Miraculously, no one was severely injured at the partial building collapse at 1915 Billingsley Terrace. From looking at the scene and surveillance footage, it could have been so much worse,” FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said in a social media post.
