Earth from Orbit: NOAA Satellites Track Blazing Wildfires in Chile

Record summer temperatures of more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) in the Southern Hemisphere are hampering efforts to tackle a large wildfire outbreak of at least 231 individual fires across central Chile. The fires have killed at least 26 people, left at least 1,182 injured, destroyed 1,100 homes and prompted the declaration of a state of emergency in three regions.
