The decision was made in consideration of the characteristics and potential of the incident, added to the technical information provided by the National Forestry Corporation (Conaf).
Due to the danger of the fire, Conaf reported that its technical foundation for declaring the state of alert is because the incident is registered in the vicinity of inhabited sectors.
