A vacant home that was set to be demolished today, partially collapsed on its own this afternoon in West Philadelphia.
Emergency crews responded just before 5:00 p.m. to the home at 36th and Fairmount Avenue.
Nobody was hurt when huge pieces of the home came crumbling to the ground.
Philadelphia's Licenses and Inspections planned to demolish the home today, according to a letter sent to neighbors who live on the block.
Nearby homes were evacuated and the Red Cross was on the scene for several hours assisting those residents. Around 10:45 p.m., everybody was allowed back inside their homes.
