Death Toll from Chilean Fire Tops 120

HeadlineFeb 07, 2024

In Chile, the death toll from devastating wildfires has increased to over 120, while hundreds of people are still missing. Thousands of homes were charred, and entire neighborhoods decimated, after the blazes broke out last week in Chile’s central coastal hills. The seaside cities of Viña del Mar and Valparaíso have been engulfed with smoke for days, and volunteers continue to search for survivors. These are the deadliest-ever wildfires to hit Chile due to record heat.
