On Tuesday morning, a fire broke out at a skydiving school located within the National Skydiving Center in Boituva, São Paulo, resulting in the destruction of around 95% of the facility. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among the staff and students. The initial investigation suggests that the fire was likely triggered by an electrical short circuit following a power surge that occurred early that morning.

The power surge reportedly happened after a truck crashed into a utility pole, causing a power outage in the area the day before. Eyewitness accounts mentioned that flames engulfed the interior of the building, while the smoke could be seen from a distance, alarming local residents. Emergency services responded swiftly, and the fire was contained without any injuries reported.

In the aftermath, the skydiving school announced that its operations would temporarily relocate to a different area within the National Skydiving Center. The incident raises concerns about the safety of electrical infrastructure in the region and the potential impact on local businesses reliant on such facilities.
