Chile’s Deadliest Wildfire Is Said to Have Been Made Worse by a Lack of Water
Chile's deadliest wildfire in a decade, exacerbated by a lack of water, killed at least 134 people and exposed significant vulnerabilities in urban water management. The wildfire highlighted the impact of unregulated housing development on the water grid and reignited debates about unequal access to water in Chile, one of the few countries with a privatized water rights system. Residents and firefighters reported low water pressure in hydrants, complicating firefighting efforts. Esval, the regional water rights controller, denied wrongdoing, while the Ministry of Public Works is investigating complaints. The disaster underscored the need for better wildfire preparedness in cities facing increasing climate change threats.
Chile’s deadliest wildfire is said to have been made worse by a lack of water
A fast-moving wildfire in Viña del Mar and Quilpué, Chile, exacerbated by a lack of water, resulted in 134 deaths and the destruction of thousands of homes. Firefighters and residents reported insufficient water supply hampered efforts to control the fire. Esval, the water provider, denied issues with hydrants, but local officials and residents claimed otherwise. The prolonged drought and unregulated development in the Valparaiso region have heightened vulnerability to wildfires. Affected residents plan to seek compensation from Esval for the destruction of their homes.

The author questions why the Chilean government chose to collaborate with foreign entities instead of supporting local filmmakers, suggesting this perpetuates a form of cultural colonialism.
