Madrid's biggest fire destroys skyscraper

The biggest fire in Madrid's history gutted a 32-storey skyscraper in the Spanish capital's financial district on Sunday, causing no injuries, but the tower stayed upright despite fears of collapse. More than 200 fire-fighters worked all night to quell the spectacular blaze in the Windsor building, the city's eighth tallest tower, which authorities said was probably started by an electrical short-circuit.
"We have confronted the most extensive fire that this city has ever had," Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardon said.
Seven fire-fighters were treated for smoke inhalation. The flames had died down by Sunday afternoon, but acrid black smoke continued to pour from the building. Officials said there was still a risk the skyscraper - now reduced to a blackened concrete skeleton - could collapse.
