Chile's President Sebastian Pinera has declared "catastrophe zones" in three regions devastated by wildfires that have killed one man, destroyed more than a hundred homes, and burned thousands of hectares of forest.

A 23-year-old Israeli tourist suspected of accidentally starting the fire in the National Park could face prison time if convicted.

Pinera has however vowed to hunt down other suspects.
