Chile Suffers From Multiple Forest Fires

Chile is currently suffering from a series of forest fires in the centre and south of the country. Forest fires are common in the dry Chilean winter and can be started naturally. However, many of these fires are believed to have been started deliberately.

Torres del Paine National Park in the south of the country was closed for over one week because of a forest fire started by a tourist.
