On the night of September 4, a large-scale fire broke out at the Ceagesp warehouse in the Vila Leopoldina district of São Paulo. The blaze affected the MFE-A pavilion, an area used for the commercialization of perishable goods. Sixteen fire department vehicles were deployed to combat the flames, which were extinguished by the following morning. While no injuries were reported, the fire caused extensive structural damage to the block of warehouses and destroyed at least 320 boxes. The Wholesale Fruit Trade Union of the State of São Paulo (Scaf) estimated that approximately 80 truckloads of merchandise, including various fruits, may have been lost. Recent reports indicate the fire primarily impacted businesses specializing in fruit, such as watermelons, as well as restaurants and packaging stores.
