TL;DR Summary

Massive forest fires in central Chile have killed at least 112 people, with the city of Viña del Mar being heavily affected, leaving 1,600 people homeless and 200 missing. President Gabriel Boric declared two days of national mourning and extended curfews in affected areas, while firefighters struggle to contain the blazes. Officials suspect some fires may have been intentionally set, and the El Niño weather pattern has exacerbated drought and high temperatures, increasing the risk of forest fires in western South America.
