I've just come back from there - mostly near Pichilemu and Litueche - which is where the main fires are.
Its devastating.

Chile has a volunteer fire brigade. The Military is not permitted to help by law (a reaction to an earlier coup).
The air is awful, thick with smoke. You can't see the sun most of the time, its blacked out by smoke. Although today was a little better.
We have been delivering food, water and other supplies to the firemen. Everybody is helping where they can.
