63 Residents Hurt, 1,500 Seeking Refuge,800Homes Destroyed; Aftermath of Chile's Wildfire
A record breaking wildfire hits Chile causing several destruction as it's aftermath leaves a deep shock not only to her residents only but also to the neighbouring countries and world at large.
Record summer temperatures of more than 40C (104F) are hampering efforts to tackle dozens of wildfires across central Chile that have killed at least 23 people, destroyed 800 homes and prompted the declaration of a state of emergency in three regions.Sixty-six people have been hurt in the fires, while almost 1,500 others are seeking refuge in shelters, according to an update on Sunday from the national forestry agency, Conaf. The state body said 87 fires were being still fought and 148 had been brought under control source
Following this disheartening outcome a state of emergency has been declared in the regions that had much of the impact from this wildfire including:Araucanía, Biobío and Ñuble. Not taking this hazardous effect to be a thing of joke, it should be noted that not only was properties and homes destroyed, there should be hold into recognition the aspect of infrastructures and way of survival of the citizens noting that farm lands for agricultural practices are been burnt which had farm products with them as it was stated that before the next day about 40000 hectares of land where long gone.
Apparently there were factors that fast forwarded this destruction which includes average weather and climatic conditions which made the fire have more impact. In a season of dryness which is seen at some point in a year which Chile had, there is an accustomed wind flow which propagates the movement of the fire outbreak as Chile’s interior minister, Carolina Tohá, made mention of 76firs shells broken out on Friday only.
Not just that there was wildfire which caused series of havoc only but a note of the fact that our attention should be drawn to average weather and climatic conditions which we look to have of null or minimal effect and contribution to our existence.
