A police and fire department response to a building shift due to an auto accident a week ago caused a delay in traffic near the Fort Hays State campus Monday on Eighth Street between Elm and Hall. According to Chris Stegman of the Hays Fire Department, somebody called in a complaint on the garage near Eighth and Elm.

“We had the Public Inspection and Enforcement division and the building owner come down to take a look at it,” Stegman said. “Right now, they’re working on a a plan to mitigate the issue.”

The departments proceeded to tape off the structure and declared that it was not a danger to the public. Stegman said the property owner is waiting for some paperwork from an insurance company to be cleared before repairs can be made to the building. He added that once that happens the building owner and PIE department will get together to work out permitting the building repairs.
