Building collapse in Tijuana, Mexico

Building collapse in Tijuana, Mexico

Around 8:30pm local time, Luis Garcia & Maxim and Fidel Gomez & Rosie were activated to search a collapsed office building in the Villas del Real neighborhood in the eastern part of Tijuana. The building was used by a real estate company and while no employees were on site at the time, there was a security guard on duty and rescue crews were concerned that he might be trapped in the rubble. SDF teams were deployed within 15 minutes of the collapse and quickly searched the debris, determining that there was no one buried alive beneath the building. Sometime later the security guard returned, having left the building temporarily to get dinner.

"Maxim and Rosie did an amazing job, handling the rubble with no issues. They came across two cats and some pigeons but did not pay any attention to them—they were there to search and it was amazing to see them in action!" - Fidel
