Chilean firefighters reportedly contained a huge blaze that was threatening the city of Valparaiso, said officials on Sunday.
At least one person died and thousands were evacuated due to the fire, which was threatening a UNESCO World Heritage site, according to the AFP news agency.
“We are keeping the Valparaiso fire contained and so its spread is under control,” Deputy Interior Secretary Mahmud Aleuy told the news agency.
Police will charge the owners of an illegal landfill where the fire originated. The fire started on Friday.
