Ya son más de 138 mil las hectáreas consumidas por el fuego. Actualmente hay más de 40 incendios en combate en siete regiones distintas del país, lo que generó que las autoridades declararan Estado de Emergencia a nivel nacional.

La critica situación que vive el país también ha captado la atención de la prensa internacional. Incluso la agencia Reuters publicó una galería con las imágenes más impactantes que ha dejado el incendio y que revelan la destrucción en varias comunas.

"Chile declaró estado de emergencia cuando más de una docena de incendios forestales amenazan con invadir ciudades, fábricas y viñedos al sur de Santiago", se lee en la descripción general de las fotografías.
