Forest fires in Peru: Indeci reports 58 active fires and the Armed Forces deploy planes and helicopters

Forest fires continue to remain active across at least four regions of Peru, specifically affecting Ayacucho, Moquegua, Puno, and Cusco. The blazes initially broke out earlier in the week, creating ongoing emergency response challenges.

While crews have successfully extinguished fires in the Áncash and Arequipa regions, authorities continue to face flare-ups in certain localized areas where the fires have reignited despite containment efforts.
