Overview
- The blast struck around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 13 on Rua Francisco Bueno near the Celso Garcia and Salim Farah Maluf avenues, destroying a residence that functioned as an illicit fireworks depot.
- Teams found one carbonized body and treated at least 10 injured, with multiple victims taken to local hospitals as firefighters deployed eight units to contain fires and secondary detonations.
- Forensic police and GATE seized rockets, bombs, rojões, sulfur, soda, buchas and cangalhas at the site, and a crater about 40 cm deep by 1.2 m wide marked the explosion’s epicenter.
- Civil Police opened an inquiry at the 30th precinct citing crimes of explosion, environmental offenses related to sky lanterns, and bodily injury, while the exact trigger remains under investigation.
- Investigators say the resident was likely Adir de Oliveira Mariano, previously probed for balões, with identity pending IML necropsy as Defesa Civil keeps roughly 23 nearby properties interdicted and residents displaced.
