Shocking footage shows the intense blaze that ripped through the forest as firefighters struggle to contain the fire near the city of Valparaiso.
As firefighters battled the flames, residents told them they had seen a dog leading the puppies away from the blaze and then bury them under a metal container to protect them from the flames.
Footage shows volunteers digging frantically and rescuing the tiny pups from underneath the metal container where they had been hidden.
The canines were rescued over the weekend reported local TV station Telemundo. One of the men involved in the rescue mission said: 'They were all alive and healthy.'
Saved: Locals dug deep beneath the metal container to rescue the puppies, much to the delight of onlookers
A number of big-hearted residents have now come forward offering to adopt the puppies as well as their mother.
The adorable puppies
The area around Valparaiso has been devastated in recent days by the intense forest fire. At least one person was killed and thousands more evacuated as the fire spread and was fanned by strong winds. More than 500 hectares were burned since the blaze started last Friday, and at least 19 firefighters have been injured, five of them seriously.
Officials said they would bring charges against the owner of an illegal landfill site, where the fire is believed to have started.
Forest fires are common in Chile at this time of year, and have been particularly savage this year after a hot, dry summer. In 2014, a fire in Valparaiso killed 13 people and destroyed more than 2,000 homes.
