Authorities in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre have reported a devastating fire at a small hotel that has resulted in the loss of at least 10 lives and left 11 individuals injured. The tragic incident unfolded in the early hours at a three-story building that served as a budget accommodation option for single occupants.
The fire brigade of the Rio Grande do Sul state swiftly responded to the emergency, but the blaze had already engulfed the premises. It was revealed that the hotel lacked proper licensing and an emergency fire plan, raising concerns about safety measures at the establishment.
