华盛顿州第二大城市斯波坎周边爆发多起野火，造成严重破坏。[1]这些火灾已摧毁约850栋建筑，迫使约67000人被疏散。[1]其中一场火灾由37岁的斯波坎男子Aaron F. Farinacci纵火引起，该嫌疑人已被逮捕，预计将于周四接受传讯；另有两场火灾也由人为因素导致。[1]
当前华盛顿州共有16场未控制的野火，烧毁面积超过672平方英里，超过7000名消防员正在参与扑救。[1]消防员利用最近较冷的天气条件，已在三场火灾周边建立了防火隔离带。[1]然而，恶劣天气即将来临——气温预计从过去两天的80多度上升至本周末的90多度，同时风力条件将更加干燥，这将给灭火工作带来新的挑战。[1]截至目前，尚无死亡报告。[1]
Multiple wildfires surrounding Spokane, Washington's second-largest city, have destroyed approximately 850 structures and forced roughly 67,000 people to evacuate [1]. Firefighters have managed to establish firebreaks around three of the fires by taking advantage of cooler weather conditions [1]. However, conditions are expected to worsen this week, with temperatures forecast to rise from the 80s in recent days to the low 90s, accompanied by drier wind conditions [1].
One of the fires was deliberately set by 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci from Spokane, who has been arrested and is expected to appear in court on Thursday [1]. Two additional fires have also been attributed to human causes [1]. Across Washington State, 16 uncontrolled wildfires spanning more than 672 square miles are currently active, with more than 7,000 firefighters engaged in suppression efforts [1]. So far, no deaths have been reported from the fires [1].
