San Francisco, Aug 24 (EFE).- The impact from a weather system that threatened to bring dangerous lightning to fire-ravaged Northern California turned out to be much smaller than expected, authorities said Monday.
Firefighters and police use hoses and rakes in an attempt to put out a fire in Nemocon, 60 kilometers north of Colombia's capital Bogota. The South American country has appealed for international aid as it continues to battle dozens of forest fires burning vast swathes of land and encroaching on homes in the capital. IMAGES
A wildfire has already burnt almost 1,500 hectares in the province of Valencia and caused the evacuation of hundreds of residents. Fire brigade's work gets complicated by strong winds as the fire remains out of control. IMAGES
Firefighters rescue people trapped by floodwaters in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state, where heavy rains have left at least 21 dead, according to authorities. IMAGES
