Devastating wildfires grip northern region of Cordoba in Argentina

The wildfires in the northern region of Cordoba have devastated over 16,000 hectares of land, according to media reports. Argentine firefighters and ground crews, aided by aircraft, continued their efforts on Monday (September 23) to control the wildfire. The fires, which began last week and were exacerbated by high temperatures, dry conditions, and strong winds, saw over 700 firefighters deployed across the province this Monday. Cordoba authorities reported the arrest of two individuals suspected of initiating the fires: a 31-year-old man apprehended on Friday (September 20) with a 10-liter gasoline can and a 19-year-old man arrested on Sunday (September 22).
