Sections of a 32-story landmark office building on Madrid's skyline collapsed Sunday morning hours after a fire raged through the upper floors.

The Windsor Building, built in 1973 and one of the most distinctive buildings in Madrid's business district, could be seen crumbing on live television broadcasts hours after the fire broke out Saturday evening. The cause of the blaze was not immediately determined.

Thirteen teams of firefighters and police on the scene evacuated nearby buildings and streets in anticipation of a total collapse of the Windsor Building, an AP reporter on the scene said.

An emergency service spokesman, Javier Ayuso, said three firefighters have been treated for smoke inhalation and exhaustion. Ayuso said the Windsor Building was empty, and that the cause of the fire was still unknown.

The Windsor had been surrounded with scaffolding due to recent repairs, Ayuso said.
