Massive Blaze Destroys Madrid High-Rise
From Times Wire Reports
Firefighters struggled for nearly 24 hours before controlling one of Madrid’s worst blazes, which reduced a 32-story office building to a blackened hulk of twisted wreckage.
Thick smoke and temperatures up to nearly 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit prevented firefighters from entering the Windsor building until late Sunday.
The fire, which slightly injured seven people, erupted Saturday night. Though badly damaged, the tower didn’t collapse.
