Military personnel from the Rio de Janeiro Fire Department responded to an emergency call this Thursday morning (25), regarding the collapse of a residential structure in the Praia da Rosa Community, located in the Tauá neighborhood, Ilha do Governador, in the North Zone of the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
Two people were removed from the wreckage by rescue teams, appearing unharmed and in good health, according to the most recent information released. However, the search continues with reports indicating the presence of two children still trapped under the collapsed material, which intensifies the teams’ work due to the complexity inherent to rescues in structural collapse scenarios.
