The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is aiding in emergency efforts in Argentina after a large forest fire and landslide.
According to reporting from the Associated Press, thousands of people have been forced to evacuate due to the wildfires in the Andean region of the Argentine province of Chubut. The fires have devastated more than 120,000 acres of Argentina’s forests in the last month and a half.
The Church made a donation of essential equipment to the Trevelin Volunteer Firefighters Association in order to strengthen emergency response and support the work of those on the front lines.
