BANGKOK: -- Part of a six-storey building collapsed after a fire broke out Sunday here and emergency aid workers had been inside.

A local radio station reported that an emergency worker said some 10 people "were inside the building, including firemen and volunteers."

Only two storeys were left standing of the building, which housed a car parts company, the reported added.
