Fire near Machalí

Status: ✓ Confirmed

This fire is confirmed by CONAF (or by repeated, intense satellite detections).

⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS, augmented with CONAF official information where available. Satellite detections are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, burn-offs) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official sources.
