【美国新闻速递】庞可阳 橙郡报道
橙郡北部山区爆发的“西尔弗拉多山火”(Silverado Fire),在强风作用下迅速扩大至7000英亩,导致近10万人撤离,两名消防员严重受伤。南加州爱迪生公司(Southern California Edison)的报告显示,“其设备可能引发了山火”。
南加州爱迪生在给加州公用事业委员会的报告中说,它正在调查其电气设备是否引起了大火。这份简短的报告说,似乎一条绑在电信线支撑电缆的“绑线(lashing wire)”可能已经击中了一条1万2000伏的导线,目前正在进行调查。
该报告发布之际,南加州爱迪生切断了包括火灾地区在内的五个郡的3万8000户家庭和企业的电力,以防大风把电力设备吹倒,或将树枝或其他植被吹到电线上,再次引发火灾。由于周一晚间的强风稍有缓解,该公用事业公司将断电减少到1万2000以下。
国家气象局警告说,预计周一晚上风将平静,然后在周二再次更新。官方将红旗极端火灾危险警告延长至周二下午5点。

Check out the wind reports from the last 24 hours…our big winner was a 96mph gust at the Magic Mountain Truck Trail! Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to continue through Tuesday morning, but not nearly as strong as they were today! Phew! #CAwx #LAwind https://t.co/lYdy9SVRCT
