According to the latest figures, 61 fires remain active, 3,782 people have been driven from their homes, 1,151 people are in shelters and 1,025 houses have been destroyed.
"We have seen the flames sprout up, in part due to climate conditions and also due to imprudent acts as well as intentional ones," noted Bachelet.
