Two major forest fires are active in Quito, affecting the Rayocucho sector in Calacalí and Tanlahua in San Antonio de Pichincha. Over 150 firefighters, 23 fire trucks, and 50 support personnel are battling the fires, which have been burning for more than 36 hours. Strong winds, terrain, and vegetation make control efforts difficult. The cause of the Calacalí fire is suspected to be a charcoal burning. Fines for causing forest fires can reach up to $36,000.
