Plasco Building

On 19 January 2017, a fire started on the ninth floor at around 7:50 a.m. local time (04:20 GMT).^[4] At the time, the building was occupied by its residents, workers at the garment shops, and various tour groups that were being shown around the building.^[1] Ten fire departments arrived to fight the blaze. The combined departments had been trying to stop the fire for hours—while assuring that the building had been evacuated—when the building's north wall collapsed without warning, leading to the collapse of the rest of the building a few minutes later.^[5] The collapse was captured on camera by Iran's state-run Press TV, which was filming the firefighting efforts.^[5]
