Authorities in Brazil say a building has collapsed in the northeastern city of Fortaleza and that ambulances and fire trucks are at the scene.

Neighbors say it was a seven-story building. It was not immediately clear how many people were inside the building when it fell Tuesday morning or if there were casualties.
