Given the situation, the municipality’s Civil Defense was called and, after a technical inspection, ordered the immediate closure of the residence as a preventive measure, with the aim of preserving the integrity of the family.

After noon, firefighters returned to the address after being called again. At the site, even more intense ground movement was recorded, which worsened the situation and further compromised the structure of the property.

As the incident worsened, the Civil Defense was called again to take the necessary measures. The Fire Department also provided support in removing some belongings from the residence.
