00:00We'll be back with you in another complicated day due to the fire issue, unfortunately without rain and Nacho told us a little while ago that at least here on Sunday there is no chance of rain. Ale, we'll be back with you.
00:14That's right Antonio, without rain and without wind resistance. The trees are burned, the wind does not stop and the wind little by little begins to do its thing.
00:24Look, we are on a tourist trail in this place that has been consumed around by the flames and not only did the people here lose their houses.
00:34Look here at the sign, liquefied pizzas and juices, we are in Chica Flavors de Majin.
00:39Well, this was a kind of food truck, a place where different types of juices and food were sold. One could stop on this tourist trail to be able to buy something.
00:49Well, the truth is that absolutely nothing has remained and why do you see the plates scattered everywhere?
00:55Well, because this food truck had a bottle, the bottle explodes and when it explodes, obviously the plates and the different pieces of metal fly everywhere.
01:05It has remained as they had to leave it, that is, here people had to run, people could not be prepared to run or take it out.
01:16Look, it has remained, it had the wheels, they could have moved it, they could not.
01:21The tree, everything that was the part of the forest, everything is completely burned, right?
01:25Look, look Antonio, absolutely nothing has remained, practically nothing standing, nothing with leaves, many are simply coal and others,
01:37just a few pineapples in the cup, but it is a desert forest.
01:42What were small trees and what were giant trees were also destroyed and consumed by the flames.
01:48Without going further, the one in front is one of the most, one of the most clogged pine trees in general.
01:53Well, it has remained like this, as you are seeing it, as if it were a picture of practically dead nature.
02:00Look, and again we find ourselves with this, Antonio, the water nearby, they had water, because people said they did not turn it off.
02:06Yes, they had water to do it, but they were not enough, not even with the buckets or with the hoses.
02:13But how do you do it?
02:14Here is the hose.
02:15If you can not act with aircraft, hydrants or helicopters, how do you turn that off? Impossible, impossible.
02:21There is no way, there is no way.
02:24The brigadists are working with buckets.
02:27Yes, buckets, shovels, trying to somehow be able to ...
02:35The serious thing, Antonio, look, here I show this again, which is very graphic, are the roots.
02:40Look at the hole that was made around a tree.
02:42So, the job is, with a shovel, make the well, get to the root, throw water so that it does not burn again in that place.
02:52What Diego Trafferi is going to show, which you are now going to observe, this was all a forest too.
02:57All green, trees.
02:59What you just asked, Antonio, can be seen in the distance because there is no leaf standing.
03:03There is no tree that has survived the fire.
03:07The reality is truly very strong.
03:10Every time one advances, and we are traveling with Diego Trafferi to different places, we are amazed.
03:16Look, stay there, Diego, for the doubts of the signal, I'm going to move away a little.
03:20Look, here was a shovel, thrown that is seen.
03:23They were working, Antonio, let's see if we get the zoom from there with Diego.
03:26Until the last moment, Antonio, look, they were digging the water pipe so that they have more pressure,
03:33to be able to have more water flow, and it was up to the shovel thrown here.
03:36They did not get to be able to finish extinguishing the fire, they left running.
03:43They tell me they left running.
03:45It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, approximately.
03:47It was a moment when the ash emigrated, started in part of the forest down here,
03:52that now I'm going to stop near where they explained the situation.
03:56And this automatically, of course, as it goes in the form of an ascent,
04:00well, the fire came in a quick way.
04:03And the person from the FUTRAC there, it is a tourist trail,
04:07that in one place they got to evacuate it,
04:10but here there were people who came from the waterfall, from Mallinahogado,
04:14who had also reached the part of Río Azul, and they had to leave running.
04:18They had to run down the road that worked as a fire extinguisher, because it is the reality.
04:24And the ash also emigrated to the field in front, but it took a few hours.
04:29Well, the path that I was just standing was what the brigadists used,
04:33and the people who were in these tourist places to flee.
04:39This was a corridor of people trying to flee,
04:44the firefighters and the brigadists throwing water on the road
04:48to try to keep the flame, in principle, contained on that side,
04:52and to be able to get out alive the people who had been taken out of here.
04:56Then, yes, the flame emigrated, and obviously it also grabbed the surrounding land.
05:02Ale, thank you very much.
