An incident occurred on Sunday, October 8, at a marina in the Cachoeira do Bom Jesus neighborhood of Florianópolis, where a pressure washer exploded, resulting in four individuals suffering from serious burns. The explosion happened during the cleaning of a small shed and triggered an immediate response from the Corpo de Bombeiros Militar (Military Fire Corps), who arrived in the afternoon to handle the aftermath.

The victims of the explosion were transported to the University and Celso Ramos hospitals for medical treatment; however, their identities have not been disclosed to the public. While the official cause of the explosion remains unconfirmed, preliminary investigations suggest that it may have been triggered by a spark from a short circuit in the electrical equipment, which potentially ignited fuel vapors present in the area.

This event not only highlights safety concerns related to the handling of heavy equipment and flammable substances but also raises questions about the regulations governing the maintenance and operation of equipment in marina settings. As the investigation continues, further details on safety protocols and preventative measures will likely be examined to prevent similar incidents in the future.
