Pichidegua, Chile – A video filmed by X user Patricio Espinoza shows an active forest fire burning in Pichidegua, in Chile’s O’Higgins Region, on Christmas Day 2025. The user described the situation as a forest fire currently developing.

The footage appears to be recorded from inside a moving vehicle traveling along a quiet, curved residential road. Houses line the street, surrounded by green trees, bushes, and overhead power lines under a clear blue sky.

A large dry hillside dominates the background, covered by thick gray and white smoke rising heavily into the air. Bright orange and red flames are clearly visible burning across the slope.

Dense smoke plumes spread over the hillside, indicating rapid fire activity in dry vegetation. The scene creates a strong sense of urgency as the wildfire burns in close proximity to nearby homes.

No people or emergency vehicles are visible in the video, highlighting how near the flames are to the surrounding residential area.
