A Golfier Balloons G32-13000 caught fire in the air and crashed about 5 km northeast of Praia Grande, Santa Catarina.
At least eight of the twenty-one occupants perished and the balloon was destroyed.
The incident occurred around 8:18 am, when the Santa Catarina Military Fire Department (CBMSC) was called by telephone 193 to respond to a fire involving a hot air balloon.
The first team to arrive at the scene, coming from Sombrio, found the balloon basket on fire on the side of the PRG-411 road, on a slope. Next to the burning structure, there were four fatal victims.
In addition to the Arcanjo-01 aircraft, a search began in a wider radius since the impact and the dispersion of victims indicated a highly serious scenario. Of the victims, 13 were removed alive before the arrival of rescue teams.
