Various media sources (LATINO FOX NEWS) have reported KISS nightclub owner Elissandro Spohr and two members of Gurizada Fandangueira have been detained regarding the 1/27/2013 Santa Maria, Brazilian nightclub fire. The nightclub fire broke out at club KISS after Latin band Gurizada Fandangueira lit a pyrotechnic device as the clubs ceiling caught on fire. With only one unlocked exit, no fire alarm, no sprinklers, blinding smoke and a panicked crowd on a stampede out, over 230 people died of smoke inhalation and other injuries at the KISS nightclub.
Chief Brazilian inspector Ranolfo Vieira Junior stated in a press conference that the detentions were for investigative purposes only.
