Tower in Tehran collapses and causes injuriesREUTERS

A blazing high-rise building in Tehran collapsed causing many injuries to firefighters and residents

Everyone had been evacuated from the building, state TV said, but around 38 firefighters were still trying to control the blaze and police have cordoned off the area.

Rescue teams were at the scene, state TV said.

State TV said firefighters and at least 38 people were injured

"The building is one of the oldest buildings in Tehran. The Plasco building is a very old building in southern Tehran. It is mostly a commercial building," state TV said, referring to the Plasco Building, which is more than 50 years old.

"At least 38 people were injured and hospitalised but most of them have been discharged."

The fire started when there was no staff inside REUTERS

The fire is believed to have started around 8am, when shopkeepers were not inside the building

"The flames could be seen kilometers away from the old building … but most of the residents and shopkeepers in the building have been evacuated," the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
