As forest fires persist in central Chile following outbreaks since December 24, at least four new blazes ignited on December 27 in Valparaíso, Metropolitana, O’Higgins, and Maule regions amid extreme heat, low humidity, and winds. Updates include progression on prior fires like Larmahue, a resolved arson detention in Maule, evacuations, and multi-agency response efforts.

Chile's Meteorological Directorate issued a new warning for high temperatures up to 36°C in central regions on January 16, following recent extreme heat alerts and fires over the New Year period. The event affects the Metropolitan, O’Higgins, Maule, and Valparaíso regions due to a high-altitude ridge.
