00:00We are talking about more than 16,000 hectares destroyed by fire,
00:05with active fires, with charred animals,
00:09a panorama that is not favorable, we understand, for the rest of the week,
00:14at a climatic level.
00:15Yes, Guille, unfortunately, we can assure you that
00:18rain is not expected until next Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
00:23even, so for the next 6, 7 days,
00:27rain is not expected there in the region.
00:29We are talking about the northwest area of the province of Córdoba.
00:33Rain is not expected,
00:35the humidity is not expected to increase as a result of the lack of rain.
00:40They will continue to be very low humidity records there.
00:44Temperatures will tend to increase as we approach the weekend.
00:49Saturday, Sunday and Monday expect maximum temperatures
00:52that will exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
00:55In fact, values of up to 35 degrees are being predicted
00:59during the weekend.
01:02And the winds, which continue to be intense in various sectors
01:06and in variable directions.
01:08This means that their direction varies with the passing of the minutes.
01:13So the situation is very complex, Guillermo, there in the area.
01:16Yes, unfortunately.
01:17Let's go to Belenbianchi for a while.
01:19You know I saw an image, look if you look for it in Infobae.
01:22It says, in the midst of the devastating fires
01:24that affect the Punilla region,
01:26a surprising fact caught the attention of the community.
01:28The flames devastated the Marian Center of the Holy Spirit,
01:31located between Ongamira and Quebrada de la Luna,
01:34but the image of the Virgin Mary remained intact
01:37between the ashes and the ruins.
01:39I'm going to send it to you, Meli, because the truth is that
01:41it is impressive in the midst of this Dantean spectacle
01:45what happened there.
01:48With this image of the Virgin Mary
01:50that in the midst of hell
01:52remained intact there, standing in place.
01:56There it is, thank you.
01:58In the midst of this hell in the mountains,
02:00as our Graz prays,
02:02this image of many people who believe
02:06and that gives you something that seems incredible
02:10because everything is reduced to fire, to ashes,
02:13as we showed you, to charred, native animals
02:18and those who are there in the fields.
02:21I mean, six days that are already unbearable.
02:24I don't know if it's a record, but 16,000 hectares.
02:27Let's see, we haven't heard for a long time.
02:30Belen Bianchi can already communicate with us.
02:32Belen, how are you?
02:34Guille, team, good morning.
02:36Well, doing the tour the day after,
02:39in this case we are in Dolores, in San Esteban, Guille.
02:42And look, we are at nothing more and nothing less than 50 meters
02:45from Route 38.
02:47Here was the fire, the most dramatic day,
02:50which was Friday, Guille.
02:52And look, for example, we are now in a building
02:55that we are going to talk to the owner,
02:57but on the other side is his field.
02:59There he had animals,
03:01and I say he had because many of them
03:03unfortunately were killed here, Guille.
03:06There is still the image of four animals
03:09who wanted to run out, of course, of the fire.
03:12Some of them were crushed directly by the fire.
03:15In this part where we are showing the images,
03:18it is a pine zone, Guille.
03:20Imagine that the pine trees directly
03:22flew like grenades.
03:24This was really catastrophic.
03:26And here is the house, the building of Benjamín.
03:30In this building there are three houses.
03:32Benjamín is the owner of these houses.
03:35And well, he was just telling us a little about this tragedy.
03:37Benjamín, good morning.
03:39We are going to walk with you,
03:41while Guillermo is listening to you
03:43and he is going to ask you questions from the floor.
03:45Well, tell me a little bit about the situation.
03:47Well, here the fire actually started
03:49on Wednesday morning.
03:51It started on the route
03:53and the north wind threw it up here,
03:55to this part of the house,
03:57where everything is on the right.
03:59And that's what we had.
04:01At five in the morning on Thursday,
04:03the fire was off,
04:05the ashes were in place.
04:07And then at noon it restarted,
04:09a little further where it had been turned off.
04:11And that was the fire that
04:13spread everywhere,
04:15and burned absolutely everything.
04:17Guillermo, Benjamín is listening to you.
04:19Yes, hello Benjamín.
04:21Well, first of all, our solidarity.
04:23Is there no danger
04:25that this will happen again,
04:27or can you still come to see another event?
04:31And look,
04:33let's put a little black humor here.
04:35Here, if it is repeated,
04:37it is not important because it has nothing to burn.
04:39There is no way, at least in the area
04:41where we are, the field,
04:43there is no way for a new fire to start
04:45because there is nothing left, absolutely nothing.
04:47And if there are some trees
04:49that are still inside the field,
04:51what is the land,
04:53lit, but
04:55we do not bother or the firefighters,
04:57no one will spend water and energy
04:59because there is nothing to burn around.
05:01Benjamín, what will it mean
05:03for you to start again?
05:09And everything.
05:11I am the third generation
05:13that has the field together with my father
05:15and my sister.
05:19It is to start absolutely everything anew.
05:23From getting wire,
05:25which today is
05:27a million dollar investment,
05:29everything, the field that burned,
05:33and get food for the cows
05:35and the horses we have, the animals that survived
05:37because the reality is that they have absolutely nothing to eat.
05:39And recover the land too, Benjamín.
05:41That takes time,
05:43recover the land.
05:45And we have two very big problems.
05:47First, that the area
05:49was already affected by drought.
05:51So,
05:53what little there was that was starting
05:55to want to sprout now in spring,
05:57died,
05:59and the rainforests
06:01are after October,
06:03luckily. We have an area that is very dry.
06:05So, to recover the soil
06:07at the macrobiotic level
06:11and at the level of pasture
06:13and vegetation,
06:15it will take a long time.
06:17These are going to be very long months
06:19where you have to
06:21wait for it to rain, basically.
06:23Benjamín, our arm...
06:25There is a pool back here, Guille.
06:27I don't know if the neighbors were also helping
06:29with this pool.
06:31We were taking water out of the pool.
06:33And, well, here they are filming the windmill.
06:35There is also a tank.
06:37On the other side of the route, there is a bigger tank
06:39that was taking water out of the helicopter.
06:41They put it in their pockets
06:43and also lifted it to throw it into other areas.
06:45Yes, yes.
06:47Where you are seeing it now,
06:49is what is the town of Senestegan.
06:51The vegetation, all those houses that you see,
06:53you couldn't see them.
06:55It was all that was there.
06:57You couldn't see anything.
06:59And now...
07:01We send you a hug.
07:03And, of course, we will be back
07:05with more time.
07:07Belén, thank you also for your task from there.
07:11Thank you very much.
07:13Goodbye, Benjamín.
07:15A desolate program.
07:17We are going to complete it with the topic
07:19You know that tomorrow, Wednesday,
07:21quite intense winds are expected
07:23that could go over
07:2550 km per hour.
07:27And, again, another episode of strong winds
07:29would occur on Friday.
07:31This, surely,
07:33is information that
07:35the brigadists have,
07:37that the firefighters of the area
07:39with which they are working,
07:41to know how to handle from now on.
07:43And another fact,
07:45as the interviewee said,
07:47is that until last month,
07:49the month of October,
07:51an intense drought is expected
07:53and high temperatures in that area of the country.
07:55So, unfortunately,
07:57the situation is very tense
07:59and very serious for the area.
08:01Well, we are going to the break
08:03showing you
08:05this picturesque panorama of fire,
08:07waiting for the rains
08:09and a better immediate future
08:11for this area of Córdoba.
08:19See you soon.
