“I will rebuild this,” stated António Pereira, who declined to provide further details, only confirming that there were no injuries.
The Inspiração Padrão factory, according to its owner, operates on the ground floor of his residence and covers an area of approximately 400 square meters.
The alert was raised at 06:12 am for a fire in the town of Penacova, initially reported as a warehouse for home textiles. This information was shared by the local fire chief, Júlio Pereira.
However, upon arrival, it was found to be the factory itself engulfed in flames, which ultimately completely destroyed it, added the commander.
The fire was declared extinguished around 09:10 am, he stated.
