Fire started after an explosion in an EVA factory Robson Panzera/Tv Integração The fire Firefighters reported that around 50 people worked in the industry, but not all of them were on site at the time of the fire, due to lunch time. According to Lieutenant Gustavo Silva Ferreira, from the Fire Department, the large amount of materials derived from petroleum, EVA and diesel oil stored within the industry increased the fire load and made it difficult to control the flames. Five vehicles were involved in the incident to fight the fire and confine the fire, preventing the flames from spreading to other areas of the company and neighboring properties. Presence of flammable materials increases flames Robson Panzera/Tv Integração According to Lieutenant Gustavo Silva, the company had a fire prevention project analyzed and approved by the Fire Department. However, the site had not yet undergone the necessary inspection to issue the Fire Department Inspection Report (AVCB), a document that certifies that the building complies with the fire safety measures provided for by the corporation.
