There are reports that at least two people have been killed while more than 400 homes have gone up in flames in the Vina del Mar coastal region of the country with 110 hectares affected.

The fire is described as advancing "rapidly" in the area after starting in the upper areas of the town and spreading down hills in the space of just a few hours after being fanned by strong winds.
