In a heartbreaking incident that occurred in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, a couple and their one-year-old son lost their lives in a fire that consumed their home early in the morning. The fire broke out around 5 AM on Dona Dalva street in the Juscelino Kubitscheck neighborhood, leading to a total loss of the residence. The victims, identified as Jessica da Silva Brazeiro, 32, Gabriel, 26, and their son, Ravi, 1 year and 3 months, are mourned by their family and community.

The security forces confirmed the identities of the victims, with the police communicating the tragedy to the public. A surviving child, aged 9, was fortunately not present at the time of the incident, as he was visiting his grandmother in another city.
