Italian firefighters battled a high-rise blaze in Milan that spread rapidly through a 20-story residential building and poured black smoke into the air. A huge plume of black smoke rose from the reinforced concrete building named the Torre dei Moro and was visible for miles. Flames continued to burn inside nearly three hours after a dozen fire vehicles and ambulances responded to the alarm. One firefighter told the Corriere della Sera newspaper that the blaze was still limited when they arrived and firefighters were able to get residents out. Plans for the project say it has 16 residential floors plus two underground.
