Water bomber planes assist fight against Guanchín wildfire in Argentina

Three water‑dropping aircraft arrived from the province of San Luis to support firefighting efforts in the Guanchín hills of Chilecito, Argentina. The planes were scheduled to land around 17:00 and will begin water drops if wind and weather conditions improve. Their arrival bolsters ground crews, volunteer firefighters and emergency agencies that have been battling the large forest fire for several days. Authorities continue to monitor the blaze minute‑by‑minute, hoping the aerial support will help contain the fire and reduce the risk of further spread.

The operation remains ongoing, with officials emphasizing that the effectiveness of the aircraft depends on favorable meteorological conditions.
