A paint factory was completely destroyed after a fire broke out on Thursday evening in Nogueira e Silva Escura, Maya. Several residents were evacuated from their homes. On this Friday, they were still very aware of the moments of horror they had experienced.
“The flames were so strong that they engulfed high voltage lines. The explosions were like bombs, it was scary,” says José Ferreira.
One of the evacuated houses was inhabited by a 92-year-old woman who lives next to the entrance to the plant. “I immediately remembered this lady. I was already asleep and had to knock very hard on the door. I asked for help and they took her to the fire department,” says a still frightened Soraya Teixeira.
Losses amount to thousands of euros. The SP is investigating the cause of the fire. According to CMno crime is suspected.
