2 Hurt Falling From Collapsed Roof in Bethel

Two people suffered minor injuries when the roof they were clearing snow from in Bethel collapsed on Wednesday afternoon.

The roof of a storage unit at 13 Francis J. Clarke Circle in Bethel gave way just after noon, according to Scott Murphy, first assistant chief, of the Bethel Volunteer Fire Department.

The two people suffered minor injuries. Medics treated them at the scene and neither needed to be hospitalized.

The building also houses Sky Zone, but the section of the structure that houses the trampoline park was not impacted.

Murphy said the fire department was called out at 12:14 p.m., arrived two minutes later, and the situation was under control as of 1:05 p.m.

The Bethel building inspector has responded and engineers will determine the integrity of the structure.

The Facebook page for Sky Zone includes a “special announcement” posted around noon that says the trampoline park will be closed for the day and they apologize for any inconvenience.
