Overview
- An interface fire remains active at El Pedregoso on the slope of Cerro Pirque near Epuyén with a visible smoke column.
- Three other blazes reported across the Comarca Andina on Monday were contained by evening, including incidents at Ruta 40 km 1922 in El Bolsón, Laguna de Ruiz–Cuesta del Ternero, and Mallín Ahogado.
- Strong, persistent wind gusts have hindered suppression and increased the risk of flare‑ups.
- A coordinated operation involves provincial and national fire services, volunteer firefighters from Epuyén and El Hoyo, and personnel from Parques Nacionales.
- No injuries have been reported, homes and natural areas remain threatened, and a calmer short‑term forecast could aid containment efforts.
