Wildfires - Chile
About 20 wildfires are spreading quickly in Chile’s central region, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people, authorities said Friday.
The National Forestry Corporation said the fires had burned through 19,000 hectares (46,949 acres).
The out-of-control fires began last week amid a heat wave. More blazes started in recent days, fueled by unusually hot and dry weather and strong winds.
