Río Negro | Continue active the fire in Nahuel Huapi National Park and affected about 7 thousand hectares
The Emergency Committee, coordinated by Nahuel Huapi National Park and the Forest Fire Fight and Emergencies Directorate, the apple trees reported on the state of the fire on Monday.
The area dawned with formation of a thermal investment phenomenon that disperses the smoke in the nearby valleys decreasing visibility. Yesterdays day (Sunday) presented a complex panorama due to the entrance of a cold front with winds of 30 to 40 km/h and bursts of 50 to 70 km/h. This phenomenon intensified the activity of fire in several sectors, mainly on the northeast hillside of Cerro Colorado and in the Donat hill, in the direction of the Isthmus of Lagos Martin and Steffen from Cascada Los Alerces, where convective columns were observed. At night there were slight rainfall: 1.2 millimeters in rock and 3.5 in the apple trees, which had a slight effect on the fine fuel, indicates the reported report. If well the temperatures of Monday were lower than those of previous days , a new promotion is expected as of this Tuesday, with high temperatures and low humidity, conditions that could increase the activity of fire. Strategic work deployed in the combat of the fire for 34 days, considering the complexity of the land, dispersion of foci, the difficulty of access of the brigades, and the meteorological variations of heat and wind, has given positive results so far. It was possible to prevent the fire from spreading affecting the populations of cascade the allerces, and decreases its advance in Laguna Quero and the Manzanos what are the priority sites to defend since the beginning of the fire. In the sector with the greatest activity on the Cerro Colorado Northera and Cerro Donat between cascade Los Allerces and the isthmus of Lagos Martin and Steffen, it has not been possible The fight of fire by land for being inaccessible and insecure for the brigades. It works with air launches from aerial media. Possible work sectors continue to be evaluated and for this, seven residents of the Huala population collaborate touring the margin of the river to the 4th waterfall to evaluate Valle del Lloconto for the detection of secondary foci, an overflow was carried out without being able to enter the valley through the scarce visibility and another flight is expected to be able to make the conditions. Meanwhile, by land two ranges also take a tour to visualize the valley. In the area of ??the Marcia Laguna (Los Juncos), near the Laguna Quetro sector, 35 brigadistas work in a sector where the fire is more active. In the 1,200 meter defense line that surrounds the allerces where the fire significantly decreased the activity, a guard, along with 8 Splif brigades, continue with cooling tasks, with the support of an observer of meteorology and fire behavior , and a drone operator for air monitoring. They remain in the place 1 Uro of National Parks with 2 Brigadistas and a tank truck in Late. In that camp 29 brigadistas remain, a logistics person, a Radio-Operadora Ctic, an early medical assistant, a meteorological observer and fire behavior, and a drone operator working in the consolidation of previous tasks with direct attack with direct water with water and defense lines. In Lake Martin (Cerro Colorado) there is no activity on the right bank of the lake. The hill bastion did not detect convective columns yesterday. The fire continues to burn over areas and burned and green patches of the previous fire, without moving towards Paso Tandil. The area is monitored by the Steffen and Splif section guard in the lower meek. The aerial media are making direct attack with water in the most active sectors, in addition to personnel and resources transfer tasks. The amphibious plane will be operating between The lakes near the fire that are the Moscos, Steffen and the thunder arm in Lake Mascardi, according to the most favorable and safe conditions for water recharge. For this reason and for extreme security reasons will remain restricted until further notice all types of nautical activity (kayak, boats, stand up paddle, etc.)
