A fire consumed eight houses on one of the slopes of the Santo Domingo hill, in Valparaíso.
At least 100 volunteers from almost all the Valparaíso and Viña del Mar Fire Companies worked on site difficult to access to control the emergency.
On the difficulties in controlling the fire, the Valparaíso Fire Commander, Rodrigo RomoHe explained that they were “the upward spread in the middle of one of our hills, which is very difficult to work with, the spread was very violent due to the structure of the houses“
The fire authority added that “they say that initially there was an explosion and that there were people who were semi-trapped on a scale, that they could neither ascend nor descend to save their livesThat was what complicated us the most, saving the lives of these people. It was very complicated at the beginning, but we were able to prevent its spread. “
This incident adds to a string of fires that have been recorded in recent days, including a structural one on Monday night at Cerro Rodelillo.
