Fire destroys part of building materials store and kills pet cat in MS

The Fire Department was called at around 5:30 am to fight the flames at the establishment, located at the intersection of Avenida Guaicurus and Rua Líbero Badaró.

Four vehicles were mobilized, and firefighters used around 5 thousand liters of water to control the fire. As the smoke had difficulty leaving the property, the fight was carried out on two fronts.

The initial suspicion is that the fire started in the store's electrical part. Around 10% of the establishment was affected, with a large amount of materials burned.

The owner is not expected to open the store this Friday. He intends to clean and reorganize the space to resume activities soon.
