Three judicial lawsuits remain active due to the wildfire season in the Los Lagos region, while the PDI (Investigative Police) is conducting 3 investigations for such incidents in the provinces of Osorno and Chiloé.
A seasonal report showed, for example, that despite having a low number of incidents, the province of Osorno was the area most affected by wildfires, with over 155 hectares impacted in the last season.
The Regional Presidential Delegate of Los Lagos, Paulina Muñoz, while reporting an 88% decrease in the affected area in the region—with 364 hectares burned, far below the 3,032 hectares of the previous season—also addressed the ongoing investigations.
Additionally, the authority explained that control measures have improved following the injection of 5 billion pesos to enhance wildfire response efforts.
