"A high-volume pump, with water taken from a nearby canal, has been brought into operation. We also have three hydraulic aerial platforms at the scene, with various supporting vehicles, including our technical rescue teams. "Due to structural concerns and a partial collapse in one area, a structural engineer has been requested to attend to support us, and we're working to keep our crews and local residents safe. "There have been no injuries or casualties involved in this incident. "West Midlands Police has co-ordinated the evacuation of several homes on Elwell Street as a precaution. We're working with the police, and the local council, to safely relocate those affected.
