Fire cane to El Bolsón

The fire started on the first days of January 2012. This problem happened two times in a row: one in “Puerto Patriada”, on Lake Epuyen, the other was in Currumahuida Hill, next to Puelo Lake.

Some people who lived in “Lago Puelo” or some place near the fire lost all of their belongings.  When you see the footage on T.V or in some page in internet there doesn`t seern to be a reasonable explanation for this.

The weather was a problem because the day that the fire started was windy and this caused the expansion of the fire, and prevented planes and helicopters from dealing with it.

In my opinion, those who start fire in a place that were a lot of trees are selfish people because they destroy the environment, forests that will not be replaced and people´s houses.
