VIDEO: A devastating wildfire in northeastern Argentina has razed almost 2 million acres of land, or nearly 10 percent of the Corrientes' region. Read the story here:
Corrientes province is the most affected area, where officials said at least eight separate fires continued to burn and had devastated at least 9% of its territory. The flames are consuming about 30,000 hectares a day in Corrientes, destroying almost 800,000 hectares so far, according to the latest official reports.
Strong winds, low humidity and dryness from drought have helped the fires spread since mid-January. Forecasters said the light rains that were falling Sunday were expected to continue throughout the coming week.“It never happened to us, we never lived something like this, we were really overcome,” said one resident, Jorge Ayala,Authorities estimate losses so far at more than 26 billion Argentine pesos , and experts say the province could need years to recover.
