A burning building in downtown Sao Paulo has collapsed as firefighters worked to put out a fire that began in the middle of the night.
Firefighters said they believed there were victims in the building but did not yet know how many.
Images on social media showed the multi-storey building falling on itself as flames rage.
Debris could be seen smashing into the ground on surrounding streets.
Local media outlets reported the building was formally a headquarters for the federal police but had been abandoned for many years and was frequently occupied by squatters.
Firefighter Andre Elias told Globo TV they expected to find victims.
