Workers Die Trying to Put Out Fire Inside SP


Two men had a car accident while fighting the fire




Two factory workers died this Friday, 23 years old, while trying to put out a fire in the city of Urupês, in the interior of São Paulo. The information was released by the Government of the State of São Paulo.

The men, aged 30 and 47, were facing the flames when they suffered a car accident on the road that connects Urupês to Irapuã. According to the Secretariat of Public Security, the vehicle caught fire and the driver and passenger could not resist.

Military police officers determined that the driver lost control of the truck, causing fuel to leak and, consequently, the vehicle to catch fire. Authorities are now awaiting IC expertise and IML tests. The case was registered as a suspicious death by the Urupês police station.
