In the early hours of Sunday, a retaining wall collapsed in Carmo de Minas, Brazil, leading to the displacement of a resident. Fortunately, authorities reported that there were no injuries despite the damage caused by the landslide. The local fire department from São Lourenço was called to the scene to assess the situation, which involved a five-meter-high slope that posed risks due to its instability.

The collapse prompted immediate action from the fire services, who confirmed that the affected resident had to leave her home for safety reasons and was accommodated at a relative's house. Additionally, debris from the wall also affected a nearby mechanical workshop, where the owner was advised to cease operations temporarily and safely remove equipment with machinery due to ongoing risks in the area.

This incident highlights the potential dangers posed by unstable terrain, particularly in hilly regions susceptible to landslides. Local authorities may need to conduct further inspections and implement preventive measures to ensure the safety of residents living in such vulnerable areas of Carmo de Minas.
