Fire engulfs Swiss industrial building, seven treated for smoke inhalation

ZURICH (Reuters) -A large fire broke out in an industrial building in Spreitenbach outside Zurich on Sunday and seven people were treated for smoke inhalation, with four of them taken to hospital, police said.

None of the seven was in a life-threatening condition, said Adrian Bieri, spokesperson for the Aargau cantonal police, adding: “No one is missing.”

He told Reuters the building, a storage facility used to hold flammable material for road construction, was still burning several hours after the fire service deployed to the scene.

The Tagesanzeiger newspaper, in its online edition, earlier showed plumes of smoke billowing into the sky at the scene.
