The emergency situation in Nahuel Huapi National Park, which has lasted for more than forty days, continues to be a concern for authorities. With a deployment of 230 firefighters, efforts are being made to contain the advance of the flames. Although restricted access has been allowed to some recreational areas, this measure could be reversed if active hotspots intensify.
According to official sources from the Emergency Committee, the fire mainly affects the Los Manzanos area, with two critical active fronts in the Lake Roca and Hess Sector, and in the El Manso Inferior Cerro Santa Rita Region. Adverse weather conditions complicate the work of firefighters, with forecasts predicting strong winds and gusts of up to 70 km/h.
The control operation has more than 150 personnel on the ground, including specialized brigades, park rangers, and rural residents. Logistical and aerial support is vital, with helicopters and planes assigned to combat the fire. Local Promotion Commissions play a crucial role in coordinating with residents.
For their part, the provincial authorities of Río Negro have maintained the closure of several accesses to affected areas, such as Cascada los Alerces, Lake Roca, and Lake Martin. Meteorological monitoring remains constant, with special attention to the safety of response teams and local residents.
