Video: Forest Fires Rage On in Chile as Death Toll Increases
In Chile, the death toll from forest fires has reached 46, according to Reuters. Rescue operations are ongoing, with firefighters dropping tons of water at various hotspots. Despite the authorities' efforts, the fire continues to affect much of the region.
The forest fires in Chile have encroached upon residential areas. It is worth noting that on February 3, a state of emergency was declared in the Valparaíso region due to extensive forest fires. The situation is further complicated by strong winds.
