The fire
described as the worst in Madrid's history has reportedly broke out
because of a short circuit.
Firefighters, battling a
skyscraper office block blaze, have estimated that the temperature
in the 106m-high Windsor skyscraper reaches 1500 Degrees
Celsius.
The tower, located in the heart of the capital's
financial district, had been undergoing renovation since mid-2003.
It is one of the most familiar buildings on the modern Madrid
skyline, with the area having undergone major renovation over the
past 30 years.
