Wall collapse

Critical

⚠️ Check: Is the area safe for you to approach?

Adjacent walls and floors may fail once a load-bearing wall is lost.

Move away. Cover mouth. Tap if trapped. Call 112. Keep people back.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT attempt to jack up masonry off trapped persons.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT light fires near dust-heavy collapse sites.
