Wildfires up and down California are still burning out of control this evening, with no relief coming anytime soon.Wary crews are fighting the heat, the wind and the fires,ranging from a huge combination of blazes in the north to a new one spreading in the south.Smoke from the Holy Fire rose with the morning sun, and flames tore through dry brush of the Cleveland National Forest.The fire outside Los Angeles started late yesterday, and quickly tripled in size.By this morning, it had already scorched 4,000 acres.This area hasn't burned in nearly four decades.Many residents were caught off-guard and didn't heed the original evacuation order.It's an incredible sensation to be in this and to be faced with life and death.Like, we think we're ready to die, but are we?I don't know, man. I don't want to go like this. Get us out of here.In California and many Western states, fire season isn't new, but the intensity and scope of the devastation are.Hotter weather attributed to climate change drives more severe conditions that authorities say residents cannot ignore.It can't be white noise anymore, because this is not gonna change.It's here and we're going to have to deal with it.Deputy director of Cal Fire, Michael Mohler, says California's wildfires are burning faster, longer and more unpredictably.August is only the middle of the fire season, and Mohler warns he expects the worst is yet to come.With the conditions we're seeing right now, the weather patterns that are lining up,working with our partners from the National Weather Service, we don't see this changing anytime soon.
今晚,野火仍然在加利福尼亚州肆虐横行,失去控制,短期之内不会有任何缓解。机警的队员们正在与热、风和火对抗,从南方蔓延而来的新火与北方的巨大火焰汇聚到一起。来自圣火的烟雾随着朝阳一同升起,火焰经过克利夫兰国家森林之后愈演愈烈。洛杉矶郊外的火灾昨天晚些时候烧起来,而且规模迅速增加了三倍。到今天早上,它已经烧焦了4000英亩土地。这个地区已经近四十年没有着过火了。许多居民都措手不及,并没有留意原来的撤离令。这是一种令人难以置信的感觉,面对生死。就像,我们认为我们已经准备好死了,但实际上呢?我不知道,伙计。我不想这样。让我们离开这里。在加利福尼亚和许多西方国家,火灾季节并不新鲜,而灾难的强度和范围才是。由于气候变化导致的炎热天气催生了更严峻的条件,这让当局告诉居民们,不能忽视。这不再是白噪声,因为这种情况不会改变。它就在这里,我们将不得不处理它。加利福尼亚州消防局的副主任迈克・莫勒说,加州的野火燃烧得更快,时间更长,更难以预测。8月只是火灾季节的中期,莫勒警告他预计最坏的情况还未到来。根据我们现在与国家气象局合作看到的情况,排列的天气模式,短期之内不会出现变化。
