A partial roof collapse led to the rescue of three people Monday from a Calhoun County business.

Crews were able to get everyone out without any injury from the Honeywell Aerospace building.

Oxford Fire Battalion Chief Kyle Macoy said heavy rain is believed to have played a role in the collapse.

He says the company goes through building inspections and are very good about following safety protocol.

"We don't have any reason to question that," said Macoy.

What they are questioning, is how something like this could happen.

"We had two collapsed areas and both of them were on the east side of the building,those areas were approximately 70x70," said Macoy.

Engineers will come in to determine the cause of this; while the state fire marshal's office will determine the safety of the building.

Macoy said the fire suppression system was also affected leading to a large amount of flooding inside the building.
