In a statement on Instagramthe cultural space reported that the place was evacuated and there were no injuries. The Fire Department was called and confirmed that the facade and part of the interior of Solar Fábio Prado were not damaged, as was the structure of the historic property.

Watch (47s):
As found out by the Power360 with the Secretariat of Culture, Economy and Creative Industry, the building is not under the responsibility of the Government of the State of São Paulo. The Casa Brasileira Museum occupied the mansion until 2023, when the agreement between the State Department of Culture and the Padre Anchieta Foundation ended, who is responsible for the administration of the site.
The Padre Anchieta Foundation also informed, in a note, that the launch of the exhibition scheduled for next Thursday (October 10) is suspended. All people who have purchased tickets so far will be notified of the new exhibition start date.
The Civil Police are investigating the causes of the fire. The case is being registered at the 14th DP (Pinheiros). In a note (read below), the organization says that when trying to leave, one of the employees who was assembling the exhibition structure was injured.
