Brazilian Nightclub Fire Reportedly Caused by Band's Pyrotechnics

FUSE TV - Brazilian Nightclub Fire Reportedly Caused by Band's Pyrotechnics

A tragic nightclub fire claimed 231 lives Sunday morning in Santa Maria, Brazil. Now, eyewitness survivors are beginning to talk about the fire that ravaged the Kiss club—and so far, early reports seem to indicate that a band's pyrotechnics display set off the blaze.

According to Reuters, witnesses say "the band set off a pyrotechnics display at about 2:30 AM" and that most of the victims in the nightclub died of "suffocation from toxic fumes."

The band in question—a Brazilian folk-pop outfit called Gurizada Fandangueira who had played club Kiss several times before—lost their accordion player in the fire and have already commented on their role in the tragedy. "There were lots of wires [in the ceiling], maybe it was a short circuit," guitarist Rodrigo Lemos Martin told the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper
