On Friday morning, a large fire broke out in a residential building located on Elisiário Silveira Andrade Street in the Stiep neighborhood of Salvador, Brazil. The incident was reportedly caused by a gas leak from a kitchen stove. Emergency services, including firefighters, have been engaged in rescue operations to evacuate individuals who became trapped inside the building, which suffered partial collapse and is at risk of further falling.

As the firefighting efforts continued, three firefighters were injured by debris during the rescue operations and have been transported to health facilities for treatment. Reports indicate that at least two properties were affected by the flames, with residents capturing images of significant debris scattered around the external area of the building. The situation remains active as teams assess the damage and work on containing the fire.
