Fires
Our hot dry summer continues. Temperatures exceed thirty degrees every day. We have not seen rain since September. Parched scrubland burns easily and rapidly. Volunteer firefighters are ill equipped to cope with massive wildfires, especially on mountainous terrain. There are currently forty-eight forest and scrub fires burning in Chile, three of them huge and out of control.

Looks very bad. Hope it doesnt affect the beautiful scenery too much.
