On Friday the 20th, fires devastated the towns of Capilla del Monte, San Esteban and Los Cocos, located in the Punilla Valley. The next day, Saturday the 21st, the flames that started in Capilla del Monte spread southward, forming two main cores. In the east, the front crossed the mountains and affected only 16,600 hectares of the area, while in the west the front remained active in the San Esteban area.
