Madrid, Spain: At least four people were killed and 14 others were injured after a large blaze ripped through an apartment building in the Spanish city of Valencia.
Emergency services said that the blaze engulfed a 14-storey block in the Campanar neighborhood last night and spread to an adjoining building.
At least 14 people, including six firefighters and a young child, have been injured. Nineteen people are missing.
More than 20 fire crews tackled the blaze, which was made worse by high winds. By early Friday the block was a giant fire-blackened shell. People were urged to stay away from the area.
