GARDINER — Cleanup crews worked Sunday to remove debris from the R.H. Reny department store, where the roof had collapsed Saturday afternoon. No one was hurt, authorities said.

“The store was open and there were people in there, but they all got out and we didn’t have to go in and get them,” fire department dispatcher Lisa Truman said Saturday.

Police said they had received a report at 1:30 p.m. that the roof collapsed at the Water Street store.

It marked the second time this year that a roof collapsed at an R.H. Reny store. The Dexter store lost its roof on Jan. 30 after a storm had dumped about 14 inches of snow in that area.
