Passagem Shopping Center has electricity again after more than two months after a fire hit the building in João Pessoa

According to the Urban Development Secretariat (Sedurb), all energy and wiring panels were replaced with new ones. After inspections and tests carried out by the responsible company, it was found that the electricity on site was in operating condition, with no abnormalities identified.

However, also according to Sedurb, some boxes are still turned off, as they are in the final phase of individual adaptation to the electrical project.

The fire at the site was caused by a short circuit, the result of an overload in the electrical system. The cause was identified by a Fire Department report.

A fire hit the Passagem Shopping Center, located in Parque Sólon de Lucena, in the center of João Pessoa, on the afternoon of August 27th. The Fire Department reported, at the beginning of the evening, that at least seven people needed to be treated for smoke inhalation, without burns or serious injuries.

Merchants reported to the TV Cabo Branco team that the shopping center's fire extinguishers were working, but that the hydrants did not work during the fire. According to Sabrina, the Fire Department's Technical Activities Directorate will check the situation.

The fire was controlled by Fire Department teams at around 6:15 pm. However, a new fire was recorded at around 7:20 pm and was also controlled.

The Passagem Shopping Center (CCP) was opened in 2006. Located in Parque Sólon de Lucena, the space has 297 commercial points, selling products such as clothing, electronics and food.
