Hundreds of residents in Valparaiso have been evacuated in the middle of Christmas festivities with some losing all their belongings.
The blaze started in a forested area and spread due to high summer temperatures and strong winds in the city known for its colourful wood-frame houses.
The entire Valparaíso Fire Department is working to tackle the flames, with support from neighbouring units.
