Emerging report says a fire outbreak on Friday morning left ten people dead and three people injured at Flamengo’s training centre in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The fire department of Rio de Janeiro, which was called into action at 5 a.m. local time, also revealed there is one person in a serious condition among the wounded.
According to Band News radio, firefighters confirmed the victims were between 14 and 17 years old and were sleeping in a lodge.
