Ávila, Aug 17 (EFE).- (Camera: Jesús Bartolomé/Juan Yagüe) Wildfires that broke out on Saturday are still active in the municipalities of Navalacruz and Cepeda de la Mora, in central Spain, although the flames are "stabilized" as the situation gets better, according to regional authorities.FOOTAGE OF THE FIRES IN ÁVILA
Chile is suffering the worst wildfire outbreak to hit the South American country in over 50 years. Three firefighters were killed and another three were injured as emergency services continued to tackle numerous wildfires that have been devastating central and southern Chile. Around 130,000 hectares of forest and grassland have been burnt to the ground in some 46 wildfires raging between the regions of O'Higgins and Los Lagos. A state of emergency has been declared and Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has canceled her presidential commitments to deal with the situation. With the assistance of dozens of aircrafts, firefighters have brought hundreds of fires under control over the last few days. While wildfires are not uncommon in this area, this summer has the potential to be especially dangerous due to a long drought.
