On Thursday morning, a minor fire broke out in the kitchen of the Municipal Daycare Center Maria Catharino Gonzaga located in the district of Sampaio Corrêa, Saquarema, in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, despite the presence of staff and children at the daycare during the incident.
