At least nine firefighters were killed and one other was injured when a cave collapsed on Sunday in São Paulo state, Brazil's vibrant financial center.

Part of the cave collapsed, leaving ten people trapped.
According to the Sao Paulo fire department, the person rescued alive has multiple fractures and hypothermia and was taken to a hospital to be treated.
