A month after the fire at the Warung nightclub in Itajai, the fire department has yet to complete a report on the cause of the fire. In the meantime, residents of Praia Brava are asking for increased security and are asking for the fire department next door.

For residents, due to the distance from the 7th Battalion of Military Firefighters, which is located in the Fazenda area, it takes time for the authorities to arrive at the scene in case of emergency. In addition to the base, the order also includes a concrete bridge for cars that will run from Brava Sul to Brava Norte and Canto do Morcego.

The project was presented to the city council and turned over to the state governor and the fire chief. A new public security base is being built next door, in which the private sector has invested 800,000 reais. This site will be the headquarters of the military police and the base for the support of rescuers.

“Praia Brava has been calling for a solution to this public safety issue for a long time. We have serious problems not only in terms of security, but also in terms of infrastructure, mobility, sanitation, and energy. Praia Brava develops without counteracting this investment in basic needs,” says Daniela Occhialini, president of the Associação de Moradores da Praia Brava.

Report

According to firefighters, the report, which will determine the causes of the fire, has not yet been finalized, as the hypothesis has yet to be tested. According to the corporation, firefighters are conducting an examination of the cooling engine.
