>>PHOTOS: Dayton building crumbles during severe weather

As reported on News Center 7 at 11:00, this was the third building to collapse in Dayton in the last two weeks.

The people inside of the building were evacuated and there were no reported injuries.

District Fire Chief Tyler McCoy said the building serves three purposes; two different businesses and apartments on the second and third floors.

Fire crews shoveled the brick that fell from the building into a pile in front of the building.

City records show the building was constructed in 1910.

Photos from the scene show AES Ohio has arrived.

Valley Street will be closed until the city inspector is finished evaluating the structure.

The city has not yet determined if the collapse was caused by weather or age.
