		</div><p>Italian firefighters battled a high-rise blaze in Milan that spread rapidly through a 20-story residential building and poured black smoke into the air.</p>
<p>Residents were hurriedly evacuated.</p>
<p>Mayor Giuseppe Sala said there were no reports of injuries or deaths, but that firefighters were kicking down doors, apartment by apartment, to make sure there were no victims.</p>
<p>“We are sure that there was time to get out, but until the controls are finished, we cannot be entirely sure,” Mr Sala told reporters at the scene.</p>
<p>He said about 20 people were evacuated without incident.</p>
<p>The 60-metre tall building, part of a recent development project, was designed to look like the keel of a ship and included an aluminium sail on its roof, which burned and fell to the street in pieces.</p>
<p>A huge plume of black smoke rose from the reinforced concrete building named the Torre dei Moro and was visible for miles.</p>
<p>Flames continued to burn inside nearly three hours after a dozen fire vehicles and ambulances responded to the alarm.</p>
<p>One firefighter told the Corriere della Sera newspaper that the blaze was still limited when they arrived and firefighters were able to get residents out.</p>
<p>Within an hour, the flames had spread from the 15th floor, where the fire appears to have started, quickly devouring the entire facade of the building.</p>
<p>Unidentified residents told Corriere that the panels on the facade were supposed to have been fire-resistant.</p>
<p>Firefighters say the fire involved a 20-story building.</p>
<p>Plans for the project say it has 16 residential floors plus two underground.</p>
