According to the commander of the Firefighters Regiment, in statements to journalists at the scene, the two injured were employees at the establishment. One of them was a 36-year-old woman, who was injured by smoke inhalation and anxiety, and the other was a 28-year-old man, who suffered injuries to a hand.

The victims were transported to the São José Hospital, in Lisbon.
