Brazil’s Tourism Minister Celso Sabino told journalists at the scene that the fire started near the China pavilion, which was among several pavilions set up for events on the sidelines of the climate talks.
The fire quickly spread to neighboring pavilions, said Samuel Rubin, one of the people in charge of an entertainment and culture pavilion. He said nearby pavilions include many of the Africa pavilions and one aimed at youth.
Rubin said he was at his pavilion with his team when they saw flames a couple pavilions down. He said people started grabbing fire extinguishers as the room filled with smoke.
Fire also was reported at a health and sciences pavilion, said Victoria Martins and Júlia Aguiar, technical personnel with the event.
