SEFFNER, Fla. (AP) Crews with heavy equipment on Sunday began the demolition of a Florida home over a huge sinkhole where a man is presumed dead after being swallowed by the earth three days ago.

The search for Jeff Bush, 37, was called off Saturday, and a heavy machine with a large bucket scoop was moved into position Sunday on what was believed to be solid ground. The 20-foot-wide opening of the sinkhole was almost covered by the house, and rescuers said there were no signs of life since the hole opened Thursday night.

Jeremy Bush, the man who tried to save his brother, was escorted with a woman by a deputy to the front of the house early Sunday before equipment moved into position. He repositioned some flowers from a makeshift memorial to a safer location, where Bush and the unidentified women knelt in prayer.

People gathered on lawn chairs, bundled up with blankets against unusually chilly weather. Several dozen milled about within view, including officials and reporters.

Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill said officials had talked to Bush family Sunday. Crews would try their best to move the structure forward, toward the street, so the family can get some belongings, Merrill said.

"We don't know, in fact, whether it will collapse or whether it will hold up," he said.

He said crews' goal for Sunday is to knock down the house, and on Monday they will clear the debris as much as possible to allow officials and engineers to see the sinkhole in the open.

Demolition paused Sunday later morning as firefighters just outside the home went through belongings found inside, putting items such as books, binders and what looked like photo albums into boxes. They gestured to the Bush family, positioned across the street, as they sorted the items.

The Rev. John Martin Bell of Shoals Baptist Church said he had been with the Bush family all morning. "We just prayed with them," he said, adding that the family hopes to salvage keepsakes such as photographs.

Bell said all five who lived in the house Jeremy Bush, 35; his girlfriend, Rachel Wicker, 27; their daughter, Hannah, 2; and two others ages 50 and 45 were in need of support and prayers from the community.

Crews begin demolition of Fla. home over sinkhole

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Unable to rescue a man devoured by a giant sinkhole, workers started demolishing his Florida home Sunday -- three days after the ground under his bedroom opened up and swallowed him.

Crowds watched as a backhoe plunged its bucket into the home's blue walls, leaving the wreckage of wood beams and cinder blocks where rooms once stood.

Some snapped photos with cell phone cameras, said John Gauntt, a reporter for CNN affiliate Bay News 9. Others turned toward the ground with tears in their eyes.

Demolition of the house lasted for about three hours on Sunday and was expected to continue on Monday morning, Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill told reporters.

It was a delicate process, officials said, as a county employee skillfully maneuvered a massive piece of construction equipment to scoop up the family's valuables and carry them to safety.

The items salvaged included a Bible, military awards and an American flag that hung near the house's front door.

One woman wept as an official handed her a framed family portrait. The demolition crew worked for only a few hours on Sunday to give the family time to sift through their belongings, Merrill said.

But authorities said they couldn't recover Jeff Bush's body from the massive hole that opened up under his bedroom. The sinkhole -- about 20 feet wide and 50 to 60 feet deep -- was still expanding, they said, and the suburban Tampa house could collapse at any time.

Demolition crews continuedto tear down a Florida home Sunday, where a man is presumed dead after being swallowed by a huge sinkhole three days ago.

Rescue crews called off the search for 37-year-old Jeff Bush on Saturday night. Bush was inside the house, along with four others, when the sinkhole opened underneath his room.

The 20-foot-wide opening of the sinkhole was covered by the house in Seffner, about 24 kilometres east of Tampa, and rescuers said there were no signs of life since the sinkhole opened on Thursday night.

By Sunday morning heavy machinery was moved into position to begin demolishing the house.

Jeff Bushs brother, Jeremy, was brought to the scene early Sunday where he moved flowers from a makeshift memorial to another location and then knelt in prayer.

Jeremy Bush jumped into the sinkhole to try and rescue his brother, but he had to be rescued himself.

Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill said officials had spoken to the Bush family on Sunday and crews at the scene would try their best to move the structure forward, toward the street, so the family can retrieve some of their belongings.

"We don't know, in fact, whether it will collapse or whether it will hold up," Merrill said.

He added that demolition crews were attempting to knock down the house by Sunday, and on Monday they will clear as much debris as possible to allow officials and engineers to see the sinkhole in the open.
