A wildfire out of control is affecting more than 500 hectares in the Colombian Massif, specifically between the municipalities of La Vega and Sotará in Cauca. The flames have consumed extensive areas of high Andean forest in the Guachicono canyon, impacting indigenous communities and areas near Punturco hill.

Emergencies like this represent a challenge for local communities and emergency services. A call for solidarity and blood donation is made to support the victims and hospitals that may treat cases related to the fire. You can consult the blood donation centers in Popayán to effectively provide help.
