Monday, September 10, 2012 09:21hrs Rescue 2 responded to 214 Carlton Ave. for a building collapse. Engine 210 arrived confirming two workers trapped in basement. Units arriving found one male in basement and then another male buried in debris . Both workers were possibly working on the roof when the weight of material being delivered caused the roof to give way plunging and burying both workers into the basement. Construction Worker Dead, Two Others Hurt in Roof Collapse in Fort Greene Updated September 10, 2012 8:39pm FORT GREENE — Two construction workers were injured, one fatally, when the roof of a building on Carlton Avenue collapsed Monday morning, officials said. The victims became trapped in the basement of 227 Carlton Ave., a two-family brownstone near Willoughby Avenue, when the roof of structure crumbled, the FDNY said. Ignatius Regis, a member of the construction crew working on the site, said he tried to help his buried colleagues. "I tried to run down to the basement to dig them out, but there was too much load," Regis, 55 said. "We were using our bare hands at the time." Emergency responders raced to the construction site at 9:15 a.m. and pulled the men from a pile of rubble after a frantic 20 minutes, officials said. "They did not look well," said Alex Sichel, 49, who lives a few doors down, of the workers. "They were all covered in dust. One was bleeding from the head." One of the workers, a 67-year-old man, was taken to Brooklyn Hospital, where he died. "Today is a sad day on this construction site," said Department of Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri. "It was simple home construction." The NYPD said the man's name would not be released until his family was notified. The other man was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he was in serious but stable condition. One firefighter suffered minor injuries and was taken to New York Methodist Hospital, officials said. The workers were part of a five-man construction crew for Professional Grade Construction on the top floor of the four-story building. They were receiving cinder blocks and other material — likely delivered by a truck — when support beams gave way, LiMandri said. “The floor was not structurally stable to be able to handle the load and the five workers,” LiMandri said at a news conference Monday afternoon. As the two victims plunged some 30 feet, two of the workers made a dramatic leap to an adjoining roof, said FDNY Deputy Assistant and Brooklyn Borough Commander Chief James Leonard. The other worker hanged off the collapsed area until he could pull himself to safety, Leonard added. Paramedics evaluated the men at the scene, but they refused medical attention, Leonard added. Professional Grade Construction, which is based in Brooklyn, received a permit for the site in February, officials said. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Forensic engineers and fire marshals were on scene investigating the delivery of materials and the cause of the collapse. "There's two things we will be looking at," LiMandri said.
