At least nine people have been killed in a fire in a warehouse in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
Seven of the victims were firefighters and two civil defence workers who were tackling the blaze at a bank’s archive.<\/p>\n
Argentina’s Secretary for Security, Sergio Berni, said they were crushed when a 7m-high (23ft) wall collapsed on top of them.<\/p>\n
It took 10 fire crews several hours to get the blaze in Buenos Aires’ Barracas neighbourhood under control.<\/p>\n
It is not clear yet what caused the fire, which also left seven people injured.<\/p>\n
Rescuer workers had to remove rubble by hand to reach the dead and injured.<\/p>\n
Local official Guillermo Montenegro said more victims could still be trapped beneath the debris.<\/p>\n
