Roof collapses at Trader Joe’s as winter storm continues

As the winter storm continues to pummel the state, the roof at a popular specialty grocery store in Westfield has collapsed.

It is believed that snow collecting on the roof of Trader's Joe's, located at 155 Elm Street in downtown Westfeild, cuased the collapse.

“We had a major roof collapse when we arrived on scene,” Westfield Fire Department Battalion Chief Jim Brennan told NBC 4 New York Saturday.

Fire crews from nearby towns also responded to the location. According to TapInto.net, the water has been shut off at the grocery store due to a water leak. In addition, PSE&G has shut off power to the building and a authorities have established a "collapse zone" around the building because the walls are also in danger of collapsing, the website states.

Fire departments from multiple towns are on the scene, reports say. No injuries have been reported.

In 2013, Trader Joe's Westfield underwent a massive renovation that nearly doubled the size of the store, widening the aisles and expanding the shelves to include more specialty items, which also include a wine and liquor section.
