Fortunately, no people seem to have been harmed. A skyscraper burned in Milan.
Milan – The fire brigade in Milan continued the extinguishing work on a skyscraper on Monday that had gone up in flames the previous evening. There are still fires on the higher floors, she said on Twitter.
The emergency services were on site the entire night. A video showed the charred facade of the multi-storey high-rise in the northern Italian metropolis. He has never seen anything like it in Milan, said a fire brigade commander of the Ansa news agency. He thinks it is possible that the facade was made of very flammable material.
The fire broke out on Sunday evening. At times the entire building was shrouded in thick black smoke. "We smelled smoke and fled immediately," said one resident, according to Ansa. The newspaper "Corriere della Sera" wrote on Monday that the fire had broken out in an apartment on the 15th floor. The flames then ate their way down the facade of the building. Initially there were no reports of victims. According to "Corriere della Sera", the public prosecutor determined the cause of the fire. dpa
