  • Chile is preparing for a potentially difficult summer as it faces the risk of forest fires.
  • Ramón Figueroa of the Chilean Forestry Corporation said tougher measures are needed and cited record temperatures and extensive fires in Europe as warning signs.

Chile is heading into a summer that could bring a difficult forest-fire season, and Ramón Figueroa says the country needs to act before conditions worsen.

“If we do not take tough measures, I will be more pessimistic about this season,” Figueroa said in an interview with Tomás Mosciatti. He leads the Forest Protection Department of the Chilean Forestry Corporation, known as Corma.

The warning draws on signals from the Northern Hemisphere. Europe has recorded record temperatures and thousands of hectares burned, developments Figueroa presents as a sign of the risks facing Chile.

His message is direct: without stronger measures, the outlook for the coming season will become more concerning.
