Building Collapse Reportedly Injures 27-Year-Old in Dinsmore Area
Two patients are being rushed to meet with STAR Ambulance along Hwy 36 as of 1:20 p.m. One of the patients, a 27-year-old male has a pelvis fracture due to a building’s collapse in the Dinsmore area, according to scanner traffic. Unfortunately, a medical flight could not be launched because of weather conditions.
The other, an elderly male, was not in the building but is experiencing “shortness of breath.”

Proof that theres value in building permits.
I agree, the back part of the arse.
Yes, regulations save lives.
Engineering saves lives not regulations.
how much snow up there?
Likely not much since it’s been clear for awhile possibly more after/during this next storm coming in!!!
Don’t know Dinsmore well, but I have 3-5′ on the ground @ 4000 elevation in trinity.
Snow turns to ice and only gets heavier, if this collapsed building had no slope on roof than feet of snow turned to feet of ice over last week.
And if it’s raining in Dinsmore that’ll be the last straw, in that situation
any updates when you can
i have a 27 year old nephew living in remote area out of dinsmore
hope its not him
Can you call him?
he has no cell phone and no cell service in their housing area
he said its very remote soon to be farm .
Cellular reception along Hwy 36 is spotty at best, sometimes you can get a signal on the highway sometimes not it depends greatly on the area you are in!!!
Building, was it a someone’s house or a 2 story apt.building, a business???
So, what weather conditions kept a flight from getting there?? Out 36,it was high clouds, warm weather and no wind all day. Hard to believe a helicopter couldn’t get there. Pot bust and they would have flown.
All I can figure out is there must have been some significant Fog out that way!!! It’s the only thing I know weather related that would have kept them from landing!!!
Pelvis fracture sounds awful but I’m glad he made it out alive. Hope he heals soon!
