🆘Shock! The whole world is in prayer! Fire to heaven incinerates Chile! No strength to fight!

At least 13 people have died as hundreds of wildfires wreak havoc across Chile. Chile has declared a state of emergency after a devastating heat wave sparked wildfires. 151 forest fires are raging, 65 of which are under control. The fires have burned more than 35,000 acres and destroyed more than 100 homes since they started. About 2,300 firefighters and 75 aircraft are involved in fighting the fire. President Gabriel Borych canceled his vacation to visit the affected areas. He said there was evidence that some of the fires were caused by unauthorized arsons. The declaration of a state of emergency allows to coordinate actions with the military and suspend constitutional rights. The heatwave is expected to continue with high temperatures and strong winds, making it difficult to fight the fires. The fires have sparked fears of a repeat of the 2017 fires, which killed 11 people, destroyed 1,500 homes and damaged more than 1,150,000 acres of forest.
