 On Saturday, June 3rd, part of the roof at the Pikeville Commons Apartments collapsed near the United States Post Office. Employees at the Post Office and apartment residents were evacuated leaving no one injured. Pikeville Fire Department responded to the situation to assess the damage and make sure everyone was safe. Prey was around 6.30 that units were dispatched out to the scene and when they arrived they did find that the roof had partially collapsed and gave way from the building. Of course immediately they evacuated all of the residents from the apartment. It's just the one building that was involved so no other buildings were involved in the commons area. Of course the post office is down on the first floor of that structure so everyone was evacuated and we took precautions to secure the area with caution tape to make sure no one gets around that building. Well it is a rare event that we would have this occur. Of course now I will mention that this occurred during a storm so we're it's really undetermined what caused the roof to collapse but we will say that the storm may have had a hand in that so again it's a rare occurrence but things like that do happen. It is currently unknown how much time is needed for repairs and the post office will remain closed until then. In the meantime anyone who wishes to check their PO box can do so at the Pikeville location. As far as the actual post office it's going to be closed for an undetermined amount of time until those repairs are made so I think the post office does want all of the civilians to go to the post office downtown. So the biggest thing I can say to take away from this is just always be prepared if there is an emergency to just kind of evacuate the structure and wait until we arrive to to secure the area so.
