00:00Ale, how are you? Good evening. We are live. Where are you at this moment and what is the situation?
00:06Pablo, the situation is critical. We are a few meters from where the fire focus is.
00:13We had to leave because the wind had changed and the smoke had started to reach us.
00:17The airways are complex. That's why we had to put a little protection.
00:22But look at these images, Pablo. They are truly terrible.
00:26We had the privilege of being able to focus them and then have to flee from that place.
00:32We were not alive. The previous program was ending.
00:35We were able to get as close as possible to the flames,
00:38simply to show and for us to understand the catastrophe that a large part of Cordoba is experiencing.
00:43There are people who are abandoning their homes, who fight until the last moment.
00:47They fight until they burn.
00:49When they burn, they know that this is the point where life and death depend to escape.
00:54Then we saw hundreds of dead animals.
00:57We heard them howl until, unfortunately, they stopped fighting and surrendered to the fire.
01:02We had to see houses consumed by the flames and we had to live it in the first person.
01:07We had to practically cover a wall of fire around us to be able to leave that place.
01:12Well, that's the situation. The wind has increased.
01:15There is no doubt that it is going to rain.
01:17And you were just talking about the political part.
01:19The governor, today when I was able to interview him, insulted those who caused this.
01:23Long live the voice in the chamber.
01:25And not only that, he thanked the collaboration of provinces,
01:29which do not have the same political flag,
01:32but which are joining and sending their fire teams to try to suffocate the flames.
01:36Ale, let me ask you, it was clear to us that you had to run,
01:39because the situation was really very difficult to breathe and go through.
01:44How far are you from the fire, more or less?
01:47We are now about four kilometers away from the fire.
01:53Now you are not going to see it, but look, you are going to turn, Diego.
01:56Do you see the hill that is there?
01:58We ran from the hill, no matter how much they cover it.
02:00All that red you see is all lit up.
02:03We crossed the hill to try to breathe a little air.
02:06We have been breathing smoke and breathing that different air since 8 in the morning.
02:11And today we feel it.
02:12When we started to leave, we already felt the nostrils covered.
02:15And some difficulty in breathing.
02:17That's why we decided to cross the hill,
02:20to put ourselves on the other side to breathe a little clean air.
02:23And yes, try to rest and in the early hours of the morning,
02:26return to these fireplaces to know how people are and others.
02:30And how is a large part of the hills that were disappearing.
02:36We had to see live on Sunday,
02:38a hill full of trees, plants, with a lot of life and houses.
02:43And at 3 o'clock, when the fire almost caught us,
02:46see something very similar to the desert.
02:49Gray color, desolate and absolutely nothing.
02:52I asked the governor if this had something to do with real estate projects.
02:55He said no.
02:57But the neighbors continue to insist that this is to lower the price of the land
03:01and then make real estate complexes to put it up for sale.
03:04Ale, today I was able to chat with several colleagues there in Cordoba.
03:07They said, in the next 48 hours, the situation will not improve,
03:11much less because of the wind.
03:13There are no rains in sight.
03:15And on the weekend, very high temperatures are expected again.
03:18They told me, well, the situation is waiting for a miracle.
03:22How are you living there? What can they tell you?
03:25Thursday and Friday will be critical.
03:29Thursday and Friday, very strong gusts of wind are expected.
03:32A front of heat is expected, obviously, which will reach Cordoba.
03:36But here it does not matter if it is cold or hot.
03:39Here the serious thing is the wind.
03:41This morning, at 9 degrees, the spotlights were reddened by the wind.
03:44The heat does not matter anymore, or that a bottle burns something.
03:48No, now the problem is the wind.
03:51No matter how cold it is, if there is wind, the fire lights up.
03:54This afternoon there began to be wind and practically 7 or 8 spotlights were reddened
03:59that had already been turned off.
04:01That is why the flames began to surround us at one point.
04:04The wind made the ash migrate to places where they had no reach.
04:08Well, today the situation was very serious.
04:10Now, unfortunately, they expect much more wind in the next few days.
04:14That's why they are trying now.
04:16Look, when it starts ... Come closer here, Diego, even if it is sloppy.
04:19Look how it starts to redden.
04:21That red is not the dawn that Diego Trafferi is going to show you.
04:24What Diego Trafferi is going to show you, even if it is sloppy,
04:27are the flames that are reaching the top of that hill.
04:30We put ourselves on this side to be safe,
04:32so that the flames do not reach us.
04:34And now they are reaching the top of that hill.
04:36Those red you see are the flames advancing mercilessly.
04:41Ale, a big hug and, of course, anything, we are in contact.
04:47Big hug, Pablo.
04:48And be careful with this.
04:49You have to tell people to come or to be on vacation and so on,
04:53to release Route 38.
04:55Do not use the route because it is the main route.
04:58First, the most affected and the one used by firefighters to transport themselves.
05:02So try to release if you can, please, Route 38.
05:05Good news. Ale, a big hug.
