Fire officials in Buffalo, N.Y., say two firefighters are missing after a floor in a burning building collapsed.

Fire Commissioner Michael Lombardo says the firefighters were inside a convenience store Monday morning when the floor gave way. There were reports that a third person was also in the basement of the two-story building, but authorities aren't releasing any other information.

Smoke continues to waft from the roof.

There is no immediate information on a possible cause of the fire.
