Seven-storey building collapses after fire in Sydney, Australia

Footage captured by the New South Wales State Fire and Rescue Service showed the dramatic fall of one of the building wallsas well as some burned-out vehicles, while the aerial photos released by the local media reported the gigantic fire tongues in a completely destroyed building.

A spokesperson for the New South Wales State Fire and Rescue Service told a press conference in Sydney that the blaze – with smoke billowing from several parts of the city – has been brought under control, although it took several hours to extinguish the flames.

There was also a firefighter “slightly injured” with a burn on the arm as a result of this fire in that building that was apparently empty, the spokesman said in statements broadcast today by Australia’s public broadcaster ABC.
