Summary
[edit]DescriptionWildfire burns Valparaíso, Chile (large).jpg |
English: High winds propelled a wildfire through parts of Valparaiso, Chile, on Sunday, April 13, 2014. It quickly became the largest fire in the history of this port city. The fire started in a forested area on Saturday, April 12, and eventually reached wood homes built on steep hills around the city. According to news reports, at least 12 people died, 2,000 homes were destroyed, and about 10,000 people evacuated as the fire moved through a section of the city.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image of the fire at 11:10 am local time (14:10 UTC). Fire detections are outlined in red in the forest south of the city, which is pale gray. A long plume of smoke stretches northwest over the Pacific Ocean, a clear indication that the wind was strong and blowing the flames toward the city. Valparaiso is the third largest city in Chile with a population of more than 280,000. It was established in 1536 and developed into an important international seaport in the 19th century. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.Español: Imagen satelital del incendio en Valparaíso, Chile, de abril de 2014. |
