Three bodies have been removed from under the rubble of a building that collapsed in the lower middle class Dar El Salam district early this morning. Two officers and four firefighters were believed to be under the rubble after the building collapsed on top of them as they were trying to extinguish a fire that erupted in a storeroom piled with paint. Most of the building's residents were evacuated before the 12 storey building collapsed at 2:00 am.
