Firefighters battle a blaze that engulfed Irans oldest high-rise, the 15-storey Plasco building in downtown Tehran on January 19, 2017
AFP, Jan. 19, 2017 - Dozens of firefighters were feared dead under the rubble after Iran's oldest high-rise, the 15-storey Plasco building in downtown Tehran, collapsed live on TV on Thursday following a fire.
State television said 200 firefighters had been called to the scene and 'tens' may have been inside when the building collapsed.
Many had already been hurt before it came down, and initial figures said between 30 and 40 firefighters had been injured and seven hospitalized.
Dramatic images showed flames pouring out of the top floors of the building, which dated from the early 1960s and included a shopping Centre and clothing workshops.
