Great Fire of Rio

The Great Fire of Rio was an event that took place during the Virus Outbreak.

At some point during the Outbreak, the civilians of Rio protested due to the lack of safekeeping the Brazilian government was giving the people. Eventually, an arsonist set fire to a building in Downtown Rio where the fire spread rapidly and burned the city for at least 2 weeks.

Most of the surviving population of Rio fled the scene and went to other surrounding cities including Cuiaba and Vitória where they warned the citizens of these cities of the undead outbreak and the great fire.

It is unknown what the exact death count was. However, due to the undead population it is guessed it was relatively high. It was recorded by some survivors that only a small amount of people escaped on boats and the majority of survivors fled through the mountains and surrounding forests.

The Great Fire of Rio was the first recorded great fire that was indirectly caused by the Outbreak.
