“This morning, we flew over the Calca area in the helicopter you can see behind us, with FAP General Luis Cortijo,” Fujimori said.

“We were able to see that there were two wildfires, which had already been brought under control this morning,” she added.

The Head of State indicated that a C-27J Spartan aircraft, carrying a 1,000-liter water tank, is also supporting the work of helicopters, which are equipped with water buckets, to control the wildfires.

The President announced that she will hold a working meeting with FAP General Luis Cortijo, Ministers Rafael Belaunde (Defense), Marco Vinelli (Agrarian Development and Irrigation), Cusco Region Governor Werner Salcedo, Cusco Mayor Luis Pantoja, and firefighters to determine which areas the helicopters and the C-27J Spartan aircraft will be deployed to.
