Derby firefighters were called to the scene of a roof collapse at a detached garage behind a house off Park Avenue early Friday.
The roof caved in, damaging a car inside the old garage, said Derby Fire Chief William Nicoletti.
The call came in about 12:15 a.m. Friday. Firefighters contacted the city’s building inspector.
“The electricity’s off, there’s one car inside, but there’s no real hazard. We’ll get hold of the building inspector and he’ll probably order it to be knocked down,” Nicoletti said.
In Ansonia Wednesday night, a detached three-bay garage on Wakelee Avenue was flattened by the weight of snow and ice.
