Wildfires

Wildfires - Chile

A total of 101 wildfires in different parts of Chile burned 14,158 hectares (34,958 acres) of woodland, brush and pastureland over the weekend while destroying 15 homes, officials said Monday.

Some of the fires had high resistance to control" and continued to blaze Monday while being fought by land and air. The most dangerous blazes were in the Maule region, some 300 kilometers (185 miles) south of Santiago, particularly the one in the Canelillo Valdes sector that scorched some 12,150 hectares (30,000 acres), chiefly in reforested areas.
