AP:
The fire began in an apartment on the 5th floor, around 1h20m, and spread quickly, reaching a neighboring building. This second building has already been evacuated and, according to the fire department, there is no risk of collapse. About 160 men work hard to fight the flames. At least three blocks were isolated for the work of the teams.
The Civil Defense is in the place making the registration of 50 families that lived, precariously, in the building that collapsed. The building, still in agreement with the firemen, is an old facility of the Federal Police, that was disabled and had been occupied by these people.
