The fire in Córdoba has burned through 40,000 hectares (400 square kilometers) leaving charred livestock, forests and fields in it's wake. homes have been destroyed, and many people have had to evacuate.

The fire in San Luis is large, and the local rescue services are struggling with limited resources to tackle the situation.
