Emergency crews are at the scene of a building collapse in Philadelphia, and the fire commissioner says as many as eight to 10 people are believed trapped in the rubble.
Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers says search and rescue teams are on the scene working to find those trapped.
CBS station KYW was over the scene where rescue crews, including firefighters, were assisting people who were trapped under the rubble.
There is no word on exactly what caused the building to collapse.
