Abstract
Brazil was recently the scenario of a great tragedy in the nightclub Boate Kiss, where 242 people were killed. The starting point of the fire was the use of a pyrotechnic device over an acoustic coating made of a kind of polyurethane foam. The causalities were caused mainly by asphyxia and by the inhalation of toxic gases. However, several additional causes contributed to the amount of damage and human losses. The investigation emphasised the necessity to discuss details in the applicable Brazilian legislation. In this work, the Boate Kiss tragedy is presented and the some of their mainly aspects discussed. The software FUGA, used to simulate the evacuation process, is also summarised. A computational model for evacuations in environments similar to the Boate Kiss is built and analysed. Finally, some considerations are made in order to improve the current Brazilian safety codes.
