No one was hurt when the roof of a St. Paul apartment building collapsed.
Fire Marshal Steve Zaccard says workers were re-shingling the roof of the building when it "began slowly collapsing underneath them" about 10 a.m. Tuesday.
Zaccard says the workers got off the roof and evacuated the 12-unit building.
District Fire Chief Stuart Bestland says 15 people were inside at the time of the collapse, but there were no injuries.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
