Wildfires

Wildfires – Argentina

Wildfires in Argentina’s north have continued to spread through the province of Corrientes, where officials said fires had devastated at least nine percent of its territory.

The flames are consuming about 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) a day in Corrientes, destroying almost 800,000 hectares so far, according to the latest official reports. Strong winds, low humidity and dryness from drought have helped the fires spread since mid-January. The mainly rural province of farms, ranches and forests normally is characterised by abundant rain.
