Wildfires - Chile

New and reactivated wildfires in south-central Chile are causing great concern in populated areas as some have destroyed buildings and left at least three people severely injured. Fires in the region of Biobio and Araucania have left a school and a church completely burned. As winds spread across the region, fires restarted again on Friday, she added. So far, the country has 256 active fires and 151 controlled fires, and that the main concern is that some of the active fires could move to "highly populated areas."
