- More than 130,000 hectares have burned across western and southern La Pampa, with damage reported near Santa Isabel, La Pastoril, Jacinto Arauz, Alpachiri, Hucal, Conhelo and Chalileo.
- Dry lightning, hot winds and parched vegetation are driving ignitions and reactivations, and ash-watch patrols continue in areas contained such as Jacinto Arauz and Santa Isabel.
