00:00A little while ago you were talking with Hernan, another of the residents. I want us to share this note, please.
00:07You had to fight until the last moment, Hernan, you were just telling me, but there came a time when you had to resign and leave everything.
00:14Yes, how are you doing? We were trying to defend, we wet the house, we set up the motorbike bomb, we saw the fire on the other side,
00:23it was advancing and advancing, the response did not arrive, and we got...
00:29The height of the flames?
00:31The flames doubled the size of the trees, I calculate 20 meters, 25 meters in front, there is a very large pine forest,
00:38that the pines when they light up have an impressive temperature, very difficult to defend,
00:46and the fire crossed the river and in less than 15 minutes we had it on top of the house.
00:51How does it feel to see that now consumed, to see this? You have been here for 38 years to make your life,
01:04and this was your life, everything that was built here was your life, and today to see it this way.
01:09Yes, it was my life, it was my business, it was our dreams, and nothing, everything is destroyed.
01:16The truth, frankly, what do I feel when I see this? Look the other way, go for something else.
01:25This is very difficult to lift, let's say, it doesn't make sense to lift it either, let's see what we do.
01:32It is a misfortune, the worst misfortune is that this was done voluntarily, someone started lighting these fires,
01:42so nothing, we have to move on.
01:44You just said that the fires are intentional, now, what idea do you have about that? What can you express to us?
01:54Look, that's the most difficult question, what will be the reason behind the people who light these fires?
02:02What we do know is that behind this comes a real estate race, that the values of the land are going to go down a lot,
02:09that many people are not going to dare to stay, that many people are not going to have the strength to do it again.
02:17I believe that the real estate business is always behind the fires.
02:23There are fields that I have observed, places of very powerful people that nothing has happened to them,
02:29and I have had to go through personal experience, I have seen that it has happened to the houses of the humble people.
02:36Do you think there is something behind that?
02:37Look, I could not say that there is a certain intentionality at that level,
02:43but it is striking that national parks are burned, forest reserves are burned,
02:48neighborhoods that are expensive but do not live people with money are burned,
02:53and the properties of millionaires are not burned, nor are the fields of foreigners burned.
03:00That is striking.
03:03I could not say that there is something that connects it,
03:06but it is convenient for another millionaire to come later and buy the cheapest land.
03:12Hernan, did you ever feel helpless yesterday, the day before yesterday, when the flames attacked you?
03:18Helpless or not, the help of the people is very present,
03:24it is what holds us together, the collaborations, the messages.
03:31We also know that the institutions are collapsed, this is not over yet,
03:36yesterday was a very angry day, the fire was very close to the homes, so nothing.
03:41The help is there, little by little it is coming, we trust the will of the institutions,
03:48we know that the answer sometimes takes a while to arrive,
03:52we hope it will be as soon as possible, especially the immediate answer,
03:57to be able to be in the territory, to be able to have lighting, communication,
04:03to be able to cook and sleep, then we will see the reconstruction.
04:07With what force is it being rebuilt?
04:10With the strength of those who help us.
04:13Frankly, one alone, nothing, lower your arms.
04:17But there are so many people behind that we are not going to lower them.
04:19There are people who do not want to talk, they have not fallen or anything,
04:23you told me at first, I have to tell you, because if not, no one will know.
04:28As is, there are many invisible people, there is a rural population that does not access,
04:33that does not access things, that does not access help, that does not have friends,
04:37that does not have acquaintances, that does not know anything important.
04:40I believe that those who out there we have more acquaintances,
04:44we can go out in some way, we are what we have to make this visible
04:47and try to make that help reach those people.
04:51Do you have the strength to continue, Hernan?
04:53Yes, always.
04:57There is like a different mysticism of the people who are going to live in the south.
05:03He lost everything, there you are seeing, this was the complex of cabins that he had,
05:07he lost absolutely everything, Alejandro Puebla just said it,
05:11and he continues to invoke this of having strength.
05:14Hopefully, apart from waiting for nature, invoking spirituality,
05:19help will arrive, let's say, it is now.
05:22Review and to close, Mumi, of the consequences of this,
05:26which were more than, I don't want to get into it, 15,000 hectares that were burned.
05:30Exactly, in the south of our country.
05:32Now there is also an important focus on what is the Lanin National Park,
05:36that is the last report that they sent very early this morning,
05:40but the truth is that what I was telling you before,
05:44about how to rebuild everything that happened in the Bolsón,
05:48I think that to see it back as it was, we will not be alive,
05:51it takes many years to rebuild a forest in this way.
