Fire crews in New York City responded to a scaffolding collapse early Monday morning, sending three people to the hospital.
Officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that the call came in at 8:17 a.m. at 245 West 29th Street in Manhattan.
The building, not far from Madison Square Garden between 7th and 8th avenues in Chelsea, is a French restaurant, wardrobe supply and photography business, according to Google. Scaffolding can be seen on Google Maps images.
The FDNY said no problems with the building’s stability were discovered. A deputy chief at the scene called the scaffolding a “sidewalk shed.”
