In an escalation of the Chubut wildfires that began January 5—previously linked to arson and prompting Chilean aid—Epuyén's council declared a comprehensive fire, social, environmental, economic, and health catastrophe after flames ravaged over 12,000 hectares. Reignited by winds, the fires have destroyed 24 homes and key sites, prompting high-level visits, donations, and aid requests amid paralyzed local activities.
