SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Firefighters wrestled with massive forest fires that broke out in central Chile, as officials imposed new curfews in the cities most heavily affected by the blazes and provided new updates on casualties. On Sunday, Rodrigo Mundaca, the governor of the Valparaiso region, said that 64 people have been killed so far by the fires, which have left at least 1,600 without homes. The fires, which began Friday, have been burning with the highest intensity around the city of Viña del Mar, where a famous botanical garden founded in 1931 was destroyed by the flames Sunday.
