At least 200 killed in Brazil nightclub fire








A nightclub fire in Brazil killed at least 90 people and injured 200 more, according to a newspaper report.

Estado de S. Paulo reports that the fire started during a concert at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria, a 250,000 population municipality located in southern Brazil.

The fire was sparked by a band's pyrotechnics show, Reuters reports.

The building's material - used for soundproofing - caught fire, sending toxic smoke through the club, police said.

Officials said club-goers panicked and ended up trampling each other.

The victims are believed to include teenagers.
