Quito dry-season fires: 1,200 hectares burned, one detained for Simón Bolívar blaze
El UniversoLO·EC·1 day ago

The recurrence suggests ongoing dry conditions or possible re-ignition, but the cause and current extent remain unconfirmed. This adds to regional wildfire risk in the Andes during dry season.
