Overview
- Parque Nacional Los Alerces remains the epicenter with active fronts, while lightning ignitions sustained hotspots in Lago Puelo, Nahuel Huapi and Lanín.
- More than 500 firefighters and brigadistas are deployed with 20 aircraft in rotation under APN, AFE and provincial coordination.
- Authorities limited access in Los Alerces by closing the North Gate and restricting recreational navigation on Lake Futalaufquen to support aerial operations.
- Dangerous heat, strong winds and very low humidity continue to drive erratic fire behavior, with only light rain in the forecast offering uncertain relief.
- Federal prosecutors in Esquel opened a case into the ignition and reactivation of the Los Alerces fire, which remains under investigation.
