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.
