Fire breaks into cities, 1000+ houses burned down. Forest fires in the Valparaiso region, Chile.

Catastrophic forest fires rage across regions of Chile. Fires have destroyed thousands of hectares of forest since Friday. The fire shrouded coastal towns in a thick fog of gray smoke. A forest fire has forced people to flee their homes in the central regions of Viña del Mar and Valparaiso. The Villa Alemana wildfires caused significant damage to the region. The fires have destroyed more than 1,000 homes, according to the Chilean government.

And forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 people. The fires also caused significant damage to the region's forests and wildlife. Due to wind speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph), the fire spread quickly. Because it carries burning leaves, branches or pieces of wood. And each of them creates a new small fire, which grows into new fires. The fire is caused by a summer heat wave and drought that has hit southern South America.

In the towns of Estrella and Navidad, southwest of the capital, fires burned almost 100 houses. And they caused a forced evacuation near the surfing resort of Pichilemu. Residents fled for their lives and large traffic jams formed. The fires in the Valparaiso region are a reminder of the destructive power of forest fires. About 7,000 hectares (17,300 acres) have already burned here alone.

Forest fires caused significant damage to property and infrastructure. Residents lost not only their homes but also their cars. Burning mountains at the end of Highway 68 forced the use of aircraft to extinguish the fire. Authorities closed the road linking Valparaiso with the capital Santiago as a huge mushroom cloud of smoke reduced visibility. The fire has not yet been stopped and continues at high speed.

The authorities are taking all possible measures to extinguish the forest fire. They were also joined by more than a thousand volunteers from local residents. As Chile and Colombia battle rising temperatures, the heatwave is also threatening to sweep over Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the coming days.
