Bolivian firefighters were battling a blaze on Sunday at the Tunari National Park in Cochabamba.

The Citizen Safety Director of Cochabamba said local residents attempted to put out the fire but "fairly strong winds came that could have functioned as fire sparks," and the fire spread to other areas. According to local media, there is a risk that the fire could reach local residences. The strong winds have been fueling the fire, which has already engulfed trees and other brush nearby.
