Fabián Vargas, head of Regional 7 of Córdoba Police, stated that the fire remains active and that about 60 firefighters, four planes—two from the provincial system and two from the national system—are working at the site.
"The weather conditions aren't helping us at all; we have shifting winds, very strong winds with gusts. So far, what's burning is grassland and pine forest," he explained.
He also reported that, for now, no homes have been affected and that the causes of the fire are still unknown.
"At 11:30 a call was received about a column of smoke. About 100 firefighters from several localities in the area and four water-bombing planes are working," said the spokesperson for the Secretariat for Risk Management, Roberto Schreiner.
"There are homes nearby, but we're working to keep the fire from reaching them," he added.
