There has been an almost total media blackout on this story…
In fact, the only place I’ve seen it covered is on Twitter/X. Thank you Elon!
Basically, a large part of Chile (a tourist city named Valparaiso) has been completely burned to the ground, and the similarities to what happened to Maui are impossible to ignore.
The recent wildfires in Chile have caused widespread devastation, claiming at least 112 lives and leaving hundreds more missing. The fires, which have been burning across the country, have prompted the government to declare a state of emergency.
One of the most severely affected areas is the tourist region of Valparaiso, where the fires have forced many people to evacuate their homes. The fires have also been burning in other regions, including the Maule region, where 16 people have died.
There are several similarities between these fires and the recent wildfires in Maui. Both events have been characterized by their rapid spread and the high number of fatalities and missing people. Additionally, both events have occurred in areas that are not typically prone to wildfires, raising questions about the causes of the fires.
One possible explanation for the fires in both Chile and Maui is the presence of exotic pine and eucalyptus plantations in the affected areas. These plantations, which are marked in purple on a map, may have contributed to the rapid spread of the fires by providing fuel for the flames.

Well. Chile is quite a large country.
Fires affected just a tiny sliver of this country.
It hit the populated area though. So that’s why the alarm!
And blaming it, guess what? on that old canard global warming!
I would say, fires densely in populated areas are caused by human stupidity - like planting wrong type of vegetation (Eucalyptus especially!) and bad construction/community planning.
Looks like the burned are rather shabby. i would guess fire hydrants are nonexistent? Or something like that? I do not really know, by it is not global warming!
A few years ago. wasn’t Chile held up as an example of how to create our Social Security System.
Or am I dreaming.
They were successful...they were having their investments actually being profitable.
I guess I misunderstood.
The leftists won recent elections and threw all sound economics in the toilet.
That’s what leftists do.
Horrible, not just for people but also for all the animals who couldn’t get out and died a hideously painful death.
