China building fire: At least 25 killed and dozens injured | World News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At least 25 people have died in a fire at a coal firm’s offices in northern China.<\/p>\n
Dozens of workers were also injured in the blaze, which ripped through the four-storey Yongju Coal Company building, in Lvliang city, Shanxi province, just before 7am local time on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Officials said emergency services evacuated 63 people from the block after rushing to the scene. However, it was unclear if the fatalities were included in that figure.<\/p>\n
The building affected included offices and dormitories – and no coal was being mined at the scene, local media reported.<\/p>\n
The fire was brought under control by the afternoon, officials said.<\/p>\n
