A balloon incident occurred in Jundiaí, São Paulo, where it fell in a wooded area, resulting in contact with high-voltage power lines. This mishap prompted a response from local municipal guard teams, who successfully removed the balloon from a height of at least 10 meters. Fortunately, the power lines were not damaged, and the incident was contained before causing significant harm.

Upon arrival, the municipal guard responded quickly to the situation, which was exacerbated by a brief fire that broke out due to the balloon contacting the wires. However, the fire was extinguished almost immediately, preventing any further escalation. Authorities are taking the incident seriously and have initiated an investigation to determine the balloon's origin by collecting material for forensic analysis at a local police station.

This incident raises concerns about safety regulations surrounding the use of balloons in populated areas and their potential hazards. As balloons can easily get caught in power lines, such occurrences could lead to dangerous situations. Local residents are being reminded of the risks posed by flying balloons in urban settings, and the incident has sparked discussions about increasing public awareness regarding the hazards associated with balloon launches.
