CAIRO, Ill. (KFVS)— No injuries were reported after a three-story brick building in downtown Cairo came crashing down just before 5:50 p.m. Tuesday, May 20. According to Cairo Fire Chief John Meyer, the building, located on Washington Avenue, most likely collapsed due to its age. The Cairo Fire Department assisted with clearing debris from the roadway. The building, once home to Big River Resale, had been vacant for some time. Although the road has been cleared, the sidewalk remains blocked.
