The incident occurred just before 1:30 p.m. at Florida Ave. and Staples St. NE in a building that was under renovation, D.C. Fire and EMS wrote onTwitter.

Vito Maggiolo, a spokesman for the D.C. Fire and Emergency Services Medical Department, tells PEOPLE that an adult female ⁠— one of the two people seen in the video ⁠—⁠ suffered a minor injury, and was transported to the hospital.

D.C. Fire and EMSsaidthat the truck seen in the video was Truck 13 from the Trinidad Station one block away, and that it happened to be returning from a call when the collapse took place.

“In our business, we’re taught to expect the unexpected, and that’s as unexpected as it gets,” Maggiolo says of the fortunate timing.

A K-9 search of the rubble — which included crumbled bricks — confirmed there were no additional victims, DC Fire and EMSsaid. There was also no threat or damage to any structures surrounding the building.

Renovations were aimed at converting the store into an apartment building, according to theWashington Post.

Maggiolo said the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs will determine the course of action as to how to proceed with the building, and whether it will be stabilized or need emergency demolition.

A spokesperson for the DCRA did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
