A building collapsed in the vicinity of an Idaho airport Wednesday, injuring around a dozen people, authorities said.
The Boise Fire Department said first responders were on the scene at West Rickenbacker Luke streets around 5 p.m. local time.
The structure, a hangar, was located on Boise Airport property, but was used by a private company, Boise Fire Division Chief Aaron Hummel told reporters at the scene.
“It was a pretty global collapse that occurred,” he said. “It was fairly catastrophic.”
The collapse of the building also caused a crane to fall, Hummel said.

Authorities declined to release the conditions of those injured pending family notifications, and that all those involved in the collapse have been accounted for. Hummel said he was not aware of what company operated the collapsed structure.
