00:00It's a beautiful place in the south of Argentina, look where Carlita is, how are you Carlita?
00:06Hi Facu, how are you? Good afternoon.
00:09Look at this beautiful image, although the landscape is wonderful,
00:16today Bariloche woke us up with this smoke, I don't know if you can see it.
00:21Yes, what's happening?
00:23There should be mountains behind.
00:25Well, a column of smoke from Lake Martin,
00:30which is what started on Wednesday afternoon,
00:33where we were informed from national parks that there were two fires,
00:38precisely in a strict reserve, in what is Lake Los Manzanos,
00:43five kilometers from this same Lake Martin that I was telling you about,
00:46in an area of a wet forest of difficult access.
00:50So that people have an idea, even for those who are coming to Bariloche,
00:54it is not to be scared, because it is a place that is 55 kilometers from here,
01:00you turn in a bullpen, so that people are more or less located,
01:04there is Lake Stephen and behind there is Lake Martin,
01:07there these two fires would have occurred, which started on Wednesday,
01:11yesterday Thursday, that is, immediately on Wednesday,
01:14obviously, an entire operation of the Bariloche spliff,
01:17of the Bolson, of course, of civil protection,
01:22well, and everything, right?
01:24As really a great operation that is set up there.
01:28Let's see, at this moment, I tell you, yesterday, sorry,
01:32yesterday Thursday they also started, right?
01:34At 5 in the morning, just like today, the operations.
01:38In what was yesterday, as it is a very stupid place, as I was telling you,
01:42a camp was set up in this place where access is very difficult,
01:47we are talking about trees of approximately 35 meters,
01:51so that people start, that is, the brigadists,
01:54that at this moment there are 46 in the place and 3 in a logistical way in the camp,
02:00can work with what are manual tools.
02:03Why, Facu?
02:04Because although there are, look, two specifically hydrant planes,
02:09an observatory plane and a helicopter,
02:11the truth is that what is about preserving is also the human resource,
02:16and in this case, and also the planes, right?
02:19So that they do not work without meaning,
02:21because at this moment what civil protection was telling us is that,
02:24although the planes were there, being such a dense forest as I was telling you,
02:29the water does not penetrate to the place specifically of the focus,
02:32and that is why people are manually working.
02:35Carla, do you already have an idea, an estimate,
02:38of what is the area that was burned, that was set on fire, destroyed?
02:43And another question, what are the estimates regarding the tasks to follow?
02:47Because today the day is going to be very hot there in the area.
02:53Yes, Mimi, totally.
02:54Well, I'll tell you, even the fire is reaching what is the head of Lake Martin,
02:59it has spread, it is reaching even a place where at one point,
03:04in 2022, there was another fire.
03:07We are also concerned about this, this great smoke, this extension,
03:11that now, at one point they were talking about 6 hectares,
03:14now we confirm that we are talking about 1450 hectares,
03:18which is a lot, it has spread.
03:21Yes, yes, completely, completely.
03:24And the origin, do you know, Carla, what was the origin?
03:27Yes.
03:28Do you know, Carla, what was the origin?
03:30Was it a natural phenomenon or was it the hand of man?
03:34Look, for now, what is said is that it has been natural.
03:38Let's remember that there was an electric storm on December 16.
03:42Although, as we said, it is a ...
03:45Let's see, it seems like a long time ago, right?
03:47But in reality, everything that develops in terms of the rays
03:50goes underground and this can happen,
03:53that there are focuses precisely for these electric storms,
03:56but this is still not known efficiently.
03:59Yes, it is what has transcended and what they have communicated to us,
04:02but, well, this is obviously, surely, in the matter of investigation
04:05and, incidentally, we can tell people to move their vehicles,
04:09precisely because many people also choose to come with their car
04:13from Buenos Aires, from different places,
04:16which are the gendarmerie, this Rio Negro police,
04:20there are also, well, the firefighters, obviously.
04:23Let's see, also taking care of the routes, from national routes,
04:26they also told us that visibility,
04:29even also for the people here in Bariloche,
04:32you have to go with caution, you have to go with the lights on,
04:35try not to stop on the bench and go slowly, right?
04:38As we always say.
04:40And, please, also, if I can put a little something, Facu,
04:44if you allow me.
04:46Yes, of course.
04:47Try not to, of course, turn on,
04:50do not come and make barbecue in the areas where they are not allowed,
04:54do not camp and make fire,
04:57because we know that at this time, what is Patagonia,
05:00with these heats, well, we are always in, let's say,
05:03in the red zone, specifically for what are the fires.
05:07So, well, it's good to talk a little about prevention.
05:10Carla, the Chilean side is also complicated,
05:12and this must be warned because there is a moment
05:15where nature is one,
05:17so there is also concern there.
05:22Totally, Lake Martin is specifically three kilometers away,
05:25we are more or less three kilometers from Chile,
05:28that is, from the limit, so this could spread.
05:31Let's hope not, of course, let's hope they can flatten it,
05:34but so far this continues.
05:37Well, now, Carla, you said, if we go along the route,
05:40we will find controls, security people,
05:43but it is important to emphasize that there are no closed roads,
05:46so I think those who are going to spend the New Year
05:49or who are also starting their holidays
05:52will not find, at least for now, closed roads.
05:58No, Michi, for now the routes are open,
06:01yes, obviously, police, police,
06:04flattening a little, well, precisely the vehicle control,
06:07for visibility.
06:10For now there is nothing closed, yes, there are some trails
06:13of the place that are closed,
06:16precisely out of precaution, so that, well,
06:19that goes to the place, there are many places
06:22also tourists out there, I don't know, of course,
06:25of course, exactly,
06:28of course, and some paths also bypass, because there are also
06:31homes, and let's remember that for now the people
06:34of Mascardi, that there are even videos that they could
06:37share, are fine, because the area of Mascardi
06:40is close, precisely that place, and the
06:43settlers so far are fine, so, well,
06:46let's see how it develops in the day.
06:49Yes, no, because I want to consult you, Carla,
06:52also because you received assistance
06:55also from other towns beyond Bariloche,
06:58have there been brigadists from El Bolsón and some other
07:01towns in the area?
07:04Look, for now what I have well confirmed
07:07is that there are the brigadists from El Bolsón,
07:10of course, the SPLIF also collaborating, because obviously
07:13they are very close areas,
07:16they even set up a camp,
07:19so that people understand, they put a camp
07:22of few people, because they could not expand it
07:25more for the place, which is very, very closed,
07:28so that people do not move to the center and
07:31come back, and there are also brigadists from
07:34El Bolsón, and there is also National Civil Protection
07:37aware of all this and collaborating. The good news,
07:40I'm going to tell you, is that some rains are expected
07:43for tonight and tomorrow morning, so
07:46surely this will be a relief for the tasks
07:49they are doing to suffocate these fires.
07:52Oh, how good, Mimi, well, it's a breath,
07:55because, well, I think everyone, right?
07:58Because this wonderful nature is from everyone,
08:01the Barilochenses, obviously, having it close
08:04and seeing these fires, the truth is that it is always
08:07a relief for everyone, so, well, good news then.
08:10Let's wait for the rain then.
08:13Sure, let's see, Mimi, I repeated this a little,
08:16because there are many people concerned with this issue,
08:19even Carla will be concerned, let's say,
08:22let's replicate a little the weather info in that area.
08:25Yes, although today, just like yesterday, yesterday
08:28had a temperature that exceeded 30 degrees Celsius,
08:31it was close to 30 degrees eighteenth, today
08:34it is very warm, that maximum temperature will be given
08:37in the afternoon, it will surely exceed 30 degrees Celsius,
08:40but I was telling you, the good news is that
08:43rains are expected from tonight,
08:46there in the area, and these rains could
08:49last for several hours, at least until
08:52tomorrow morning, so you will have a window
08:55of the possibility that this water, well,
08:58can calm down a little these fires that are
09:01already started 48 hours ago.
09:04As Carla said, they have been expanding,
09:07there have been no rains in the last 48 hours,
09:10but the good news is that finally, yes, rains are expected for tonight.
09:13Well, very good, Carlita,
09:16you heard, right? So the
09:19panorama is encouraging forward. Yes.
09:22Yes, Facu, a really encouraging panorama
09:25because, well, look at what this nature
09:28is doing, right? That today when we wake up with this
09:31smoke, it really is a sadness, I think for everyone, right?
09:34Not just for those of us who live here, it is to know that our
09:37nature is in danger, let's hope they can
09:40suffocate them and that, of course, the team members are also
09:43healthy and safe, right? Because that is the most important thing too.
09:46Well, well, well, well, well, Carlita, how did the season start?
09:49Can you say that the season started?
09:52Yes, Facu, yes,
09:55on the other hand, you can say that the season started
09:58at this time to spend the holidays.
10:01Although at Christmas we had 75% occupancy,
10:04now for the new year we are at 85% and that is already
10:07something very promising, it is already
10:10a good number, the hotel squares are
10:13already, let's see, although there was,
10:16I'm not going to say anything else because there were really some
10:19cancellations for trips abroad, Bariloche
10:22remained with that 85% and there
10:25and they are still opening, let's see,
10:28consultations to the caballeros, people entering the city,
10:31the tourist movement is already noticeable, not only from
10:34Argentines, but also from all over the world, so well,
10:37in that case Bariloche is still one of the chosen ones
10:40and that is why we are also happy, right? Beyond all this.
10:43When you were around here with some delicious chocolates that you invited us
10:46and you told us that Máxima was arriving,
10:50right?
10:53Máxima arrived totally,
10:56she is in her stay near the Nirihuau,
10:59she will surely be seeing this same landscape as us,
11:02let's see, she stays, she stays for the
11:05parties, at one point you saw that it was said if she stayed for
11:08New Year or not, she stays, she is enjoying
11:11in that wonderful stay of many
11:14hectares, on the banks of the Nirihuau, which is a river
11:17also very beautiful from here, so well,
11:20she arrived, she also met with the king
11:23and she is in the whole family, we remember that they came
11:26on separate flights, well, the family got together and well,
11:29they had some good parties here too in the city.
