WHO BY FIRE

When the fire department of Laranjeiras do Sul in the Brazilian state of Paraná were called out to deal with a burning lorry on the BR-158 highway, they found the vehicle’s cargo box ablaze and despite their efforts, it was almost completely destroyed. The only parts remaining were the rear doors with a painting of Our Lady of Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil, on them, which were completely intact and undamaged, showing no sign of the effects of fire. Fire department spokesperson Carlos de Souza said they could not explain why the doors were undamaged saying: “It burned very quickly, the only explanation is really something supernatural, a miracle”. viraltab.news, 12 Jan 2022.
