Deadly Wildfires in Chile




Thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page and Mike Archer of Wildfire News of the Day I know about the deadly wildfire season in Chile. According to a January 19th article on Reuters about the wildfires in Chile, at least nineteen people have died and 325 homes have been destroyed in 30 heat and wind driven wildfires and a state of emergency has been declared. Wildfire Today wrote a January 20th post about the wildfires in Chile.

The image below of smoke from wildfires in Chile was captured on January 18, 2026 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites. Obtained on January 21st from https://www.eumetsat.int/image-week-smoke-chilean-wildfires
