Fueled by high temperatures and strong winds, forest fires persist across southern Argentina, devastating vast regions of Patagonia. The government has declared a state of emergency in Santa Cruz, the fifth province affected by the blazes. Since December, the fires have destroyed more than 45,000 hectares, with the latest outbreak reported in mountainous areas near National Route 71 in Chubut, where flames consumed extensive forested land. <br /><br />#teleSUREnglish #Argentina #Patagonia #ForestFires #ClimateCrisis #Emergency #Environment<br />
