NASA image: Fires in Argentina Sept. 11, 2013

Wildfires have broken out in four provinces in Argentina including forest land in Cordoba. The high temperatures and gusty winds have wreaked havoc on the growth of these wildfires and the local meteorologists predict more of the same conditions in the coming days.

According to the Miami Herald: "Cordoba Social Development Minister Daniel Passerini said Tuesday that firefighters are having the toughest time in the central province (near Cordoba) with flames fanned by wind gusts and high temperatures. Passerini says the blaze in Cordoba province has caused the evacuation of 480 people, most of them in the tourist zone of Calamuchita Valley. He says one man is in grave condition after being struck on the head by a tree."
