法国和西班牙正迎接夏季第四波热浪的来临[1],气温预计将升至30多度至40多度摄氏度[1]。在两国消防部门争分夺秒控制现有火情之际,这波新的高温天气带来了重燃野火的严重隐患。当地当局已启动应急响应,其中吉伦特省和马德里地区率先发出高度警报[1]。
法国方面的控制工作取得了初步进展。吉伦特省省长Sophie Brocas表示火灾已被控制,晨间出现的几处复燃迅速被扑灭[1]。然而防火形势仍不容乐观,65个法国省份已被列为高火灾风险警告[1]。法国消防联合会通讯主任Éric Brocardi对BFMTV表示:"我们会赢得这场战争"[1],展现出消防部门应对挑战的决心。
France and Spain are bracing for the fourth heatwave of the summer, with temperatures expected to reach the high 30s and low 40s Celsius.[1] The intense heat poses a renewed threat of wildfires even as firefighting efforts have made progress in controlling existing blazes.[1] Authorities in the Gironde region of France and in Madrid have issued high-level alerts, with 65 French departments placed under elevated fire risk warnings.[1]
Officials have expressed cautious confidence despite the dangers ahead. Sophie Brocas, the prefect of Gironde, reported that fires in the region have been brought under control, with a handful of minor flare-ups rapidly extinguished during the morning.[1] Éric Brocardi, communications director of the French firefighters' union, told BFMTV: "We will win this war."[1]
