On the afternoon of Friday the 13th, a minor fire incident was reported at the Truck Zone food court located on Avenida Doutor Antônio Gomes de Barros in Maceió. The Alagoas Military Fire Department (CBMAL) discovered that the fire had ignited from a grill inside a food truck. Fortunately, by the time the fire teams arrived on the scene, individuals present had already managed to control the flames themselves, preventing further escalation of the situation.

The firefighters reported that their intervention was minimal since there was no need for them to combat any active flames, and they did not play a direct role in managing the occurrence. The emergency call was logged at 4:27 PM, prompting the mobilization of four fire vehicles and a total of 13 personnel. Despite the alarming situation, the swift action by bystanders ensured that there were no injuries reported, and the specific cause of the fire remains unknown at this time.

This incident underscores the importance of quick community response to emergency situations, as the prompt action of those present at the scene allowed for effective management of the fire without extensive damage or the risk of injuries. It also raises questions about safety protocols and the necessary precautions that should be in place for food vendors operating grills in crowded areas.
