Belém, Brazil - November 20, 2025 Video recorded by x user Ralfer on November 20, 2025, inside the Blue Zone pavilion area at the COP30 climate summit shows the moment a sudden fire triggered a full evacuation. The combined footage, roughly one minute and twenty seconds long, begins with thick black smoke pouring from the ceiling near the national pavilions. The Italy pavilion signage, marked in red, white, and green, is clearly visible as bright orange flames burn through the fabric roof and drop burning debris. Alarms sound loudly while shouts in Portuguese, including “vai, vai!” and “fogo!”, echo through the corridors. The camera moves quickly through narrow passageways lined with country exhibits as hundreds of delegates, staff, journalists, and security personnel in light-blue COP30 uniforms run toward the exits. Overturned furniture, a flat-screen TV lying face-down, scattered bags, papers, and stanchions cover the floor as people flee. Multiple angles show dense black smoke rapidly filling the enclosed space, casting an orange glow from the flames near the Italy and Africa pavilion sections. The cameraman breathes heavily and swears quietly in Portuguese, saying “caralho… meu deus,” while panning shakily to reveal crowds funneled toward emergency exits and security attempting to direct the flow of people. The ceiling continues to burn and sag as visibility drops. The final moments show the aftermath from farther back: smoke still rising, damaged ceiling panels hanging, and the last evacuees being guided out by staff as the area is cleared. The merged footage captures the sudden shift from a normal summit atmosphere to a full evacuation inside the temporary pavilion structures, with chaos unfolding in seconds.
