According to the document, beer bottles, plastic cups and scratched matchsticks were found in the area where the fire possibly started, but this alone is not enough to prove that there was human action in the fire.
Itep collected possible biological material (contact DNA) from the wooden surface of the matchsticks. This material was sent to the Forensic Genetics Laboratory to analyze the feasibility of obtaining a genetic profile with the aim of identifying any suspects who caused the fire. However, until the report was published, the examination had not been completed.
Fire in Morro do Careca
A fire hit Morro Careca around 9pm on February 6th this year. Firefighters were called and the fire was brought under control on the morning of the 7th, after more than 10 hours of military action, but it reached the area again in the late afternoon.
The Potiguar I helicopter, from the State Department of Public Security (Sesed), was used to fetch water from the sea and throw it on the fires. According to the Integrated Air Operations Center (Ciopaer), 32 helibald launches were carried out, a piece of equipment used by the aircraft to transport water. In total, more than 10 thousand liters of water were thrown onto the fire by the helicopter alone.
