Footage shows a raging forest fire engulfing a woodland in Guatemala on March 2.

The National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (CONRED) said it is still battling the infernoes engulfing the Los Amates municipality in Izabal.

Authorities confirmed that efforts to contain the blaze on Tipon Hill in La Palmilla village are ongoing, with aerial combat operations playing a pivotal role in suppression efforts.

They also combat flames in the Covirrey municipal regional park in Soloma, Huehuetenango. The agency is also trying to control a forest fire in the Rio Blanco village, located in the municipality of San Pedro Pinula, Jalapa.

CONRED said the devastating wildfires' impact extends across 12 of Guatemala's 22 departments, with particular concern in Peten, where incidents are concentrated in the municipalities of La Libertad and San Andres.
