Santa Olga, Chile— Exhausted ireighters on January 26 take a break from battling the chain of over 100 wildires that have burned almost a million acres and killed 11 people in central and southern Chile. All ireighters in Chile are volunteers, and residents have tried to ight the lames with tree branches and bottles of water, according to The New York Times. Chilean police arrested 43 people suspected of lighting some of the ires, and President Michelle Bachelet said, “We are sure that there has been arson in some of the ires. We will investigate this until the end,” according to South American TV network Telesur.
