A person died on the morning of October 29th in a fire that broke out at the former Torres Pinto factory, located in the Bairro da Horta da Areia, Faro.
A representative from the fire brigade confirmed to Notícias ao Minuto that the fire consumed part of the abandoned building and, during the firefighting efforts, a charred body was discovered.
