Firefighters are racing to save people trapped at the top of a 13-storey building in the heart of Buenos Aires after a massive fire broke out. The sixth and seventh floors of the building next to the country's Ministry of Labour at Avenida Alem 668, near the country's coast with the Argentine Sea, were engulfed with smoke and flames just before midday today, local time. While people on the lower floors have been evacuated, eight firefighters are still working to rescue those on the upper floors, after getting a call at 11.37am. People inside the Ministry of Labour have also been evacuated, as a precaution.
