A fire broke out in a small three-story hotel in Porto Alegre, Brazil, killing at least 10 people and injuring 11. The building lacked proper licensing and an emergency fire plan. The hotel is part of the Garoa group and had a previous fire incident in 2022. Emergency workers are investigating the cause of the fire. The guesthouse did not have a license to operate and rooms were close together, hindering escape.
