The federal and state fire services jointly extinguished the incident.
The fire incident occurred as a result of a brake failure and a tanker’s failure, which caused it to lose control, hit a Prado jeep and a car, then fell onto an open road and caught fire in the process, according to the release’s preliminary investigation .
The fire affected the tanker and a car, but no one was hurt, despite the jeep being pushed into a nearby gutter on impact.
