According to a report released Sunday evening by Fantástico TV program Globo, one of the survivors of the fire (which ended with the death of ten athletes of the club's basic categories , at dawn on Friday at the Urubu Nest Center in Rio de Janeiro) said in his testimony to civilian police investigators that there was a kind of "gambiarra" in one of the air conditioners of the home where they lived – six containers transformed into and that they were in a part of the place that should be a parking lot.
Still on the night of Sunday 10, the O Globo newspaper portal said that a preliminary badysis had revealed that the flames had started with a short circuit in the six air conditioning housing – still not sure whether the devices cited by Fantástico and by the site are the same.

According to the survivor of the tragedy, the air conditioner would be smaller than the hole in the wall.

"This type of air conditioner has the condenser part out of the environment, it spends exactly on the sandwich of the insulating material.We have a standard aluminum finish, which has the characteristic of heat resistance.It There was no or if you have the possibility that the flame comes in contact with the material that is inside the sandwich, you will create a combustion similar to that of a charcoal oven "that is to say, a combustion with very little air," he said.
"As you move into the firing line, you suck the air through the slits, which will fuel this slow burning until, when it reaches the At the end of the junction of the plates, the heat generated begins to dilate the cracks and air between, "continued the specialist.
In the containers where the Flamengo athletes lived, the walls were made of two metal plates and the space between them was filled with polyurethane foam which, in theory, should serve as thermal and caustic insulation. In an official note sent to the State on Sunday afternoon, the Rio Club said that "the containers that burned Friday in the club's scanner did not contain any materials that would propagate the flames" because the materials used between the wall plates of the chamber would have a "self-extinguishing characteristic".
However, in contact with fire, the polyurethane emits smoke and releases cyanide gas, an extremely toxic substance that causes chemical asphyxiation and the death of people who inspire it. The survivors told the researchers that they had trouble waking up and waking up other athletes and that they felt like they were fainting.
Monitors
Another problem reported by the program was that there was only one monitor on duty to look after the 24 young people who were sleeping on the spot. The National Council of Childhood and Adolescence provides that a guardian is required for ten minors. In addition, the legislation requires the presence of an authorized night staff and listening to any problem.
