All effective fire brigades in the city took part in putting out the blaze engulfing the Kiss Nightclub in Andradas Street.

The local governor tweeted, “Sad Sunday. We are taking appropriate action and possible. I’ll Be in Santa Maria in the late morning.”

According to reports in the local media citing police, more than 200 people died of those 500 who were at the club when the blaze broke out.

Emergency workers are still counting the dead and removing the bodies.

At least 50 other people were injured in the fire, security forces indicated.

The blaze reportedly began when a performing band started a fireworks display. Acoustic insulation caught fire, and thick smoke filled the club, causing many to die from inhaling the toxic fumes.

There was no emergency exit available and people rushed to the only way out of the building in panic, local officials said. Some people died of asphyxiation, others from being trampled, they added.

Firefighters had to use sledgehammers and axes to open up a breach exit in the exterior wall, according to local TV.

Emergency medical supplies are being sent from all over the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff had to break her Chile visit and fly back to Brazil following the accident, according to her spokesperson.

Just over eight years ago, a fire at a disco in Buenos Aires, Argentina, left 194 people dead and over 700 injured. Five to six thousand people were at the club, and the blaze was triggered by several youths who started throwing Bengal fires into the ceiling. All the fire exits turned out to be blocked.

And in 2009, a Russian club called ‘Lame Horse’ caught fire in the city of Perm, with 156 people were killed in the blaze which began when a pyrotechnics display ignited the nightclub’s wooden and straw ceiling.
