Injuries are being reported following the collapse of a roof at a clothes hanger factory near Birmingham.
Details are sketchy, but fire officials in the city of Leeds say part of the roof collapsed Thursday morning at M&B Hangers.
The Fire Department says injuries are being reported, although none appear serious. Several people are being taken to hospitals. Rescuers had to help some people get free from the debris.
It is unclear how many people were inside at the time of the collapse.
M&B is one of the nation's largest makers of clothes hangers, and it's one of only a handful of hanger companies remaining in the United States.
