According to Huffington Post:
A fire swept through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early
Sunday, killing at least 180 people and leaving hundreds injured, police
and firefighters said.
Sandro Meinerz, a spokesman for the police in the city of Santa Maria, told local media that the fire broke out at the Kiss club while a band was performing. He said at least 200 people were injured.
Witnesses said that a flare or firework lit by band members may have started the fire.
Police Maj. Cleberson Braida told local news media that the
245 bodies were brought for identification to a gymnasium in the city of
Santa Maria, at the southern tip of Brazil near the borders with
Argentina and Uruguay.
