NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Will Abrams and his family packed their pickup truck with laptops, clothes, sleeping bags and a tent and quickly left their rental home in California’s wine country after seeing flames on a hill about a quarter-mile away Monday morning. It was their third hurried fire evacuation in as many years.
In 2017, Abrams woke up to find their Santa Rosa home on fire, clearing burning branches out of the driveway so he could get his wife, 12-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter to safety. Their home was destroyed. Then last year, the family evacuated as another wildfire bore down on Sonoma County. They were terrified to cross into the San Francisco Bay Area amid smaller grassland fires sparked by power lines falling in the midst of strong, hot winds.
艾布拉姆斯周二表示：“这次，我们急忙打包并收拾行装，当火焰从后面驶向（高速公路）12时，我们正处于僵局的交通状态。”他和他的妻子试图通过进行交谈来娱乐孩子，以免惊慌。“从个人层面上看，这显然是创伤性的，但自2017年大火以来，就准备和预防而发生了很小的变化。”
他们被告知这所房子仍在站立。但是，由于玻璃大火仍然完全没有被隔离，一家人住在伯克利，直到被允许返回为止。
“I’m trying to prepare my kids and let them know that climate change is part of life and they’re going to have to deal with it as they get older and also trying to provide them a sense of safety and security. It’s not easy. But we should not accept this is the way is going to be,” he said.
艾布拉姆斯（Abrams）家族是成千上万的疲倦的葡萄酒乡村居民，面对另一场毁灭性野火。玻璃大火开始于周日，已经烧焦了超过66平方英里（170平方公里），并摧毁了约95个建筑物。
It’s the fourth major fire there in three years and comes ahead of the third anniversary of a 2017 wildfire that killed 22. Three fires, driven by gusty winds and high temperatures, merged into one on Sunday, tearing into vineyards and mountain areas, including part of the city of Santa Rosa. About 70,000 people were under evacuation orders, including the entire 5,000-plus population of Calistoga in Napa County.
Numerous studies have linked bigger wildfires in America to climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas. Scientists say climate change has made California much drier, meaning trees and other plants are more flammable.
The Glass Fire spread rapidly and is now burning through land that was saved from the other recent wine country fires, some of which had not burned for a century, Cal Fire Assistant Chief Billy See said. Crews are now using old containment lines to fight the current fire, relieved slightly by easing winds.
It’s one of nearly 30 wildfires burning around California. The National Weather Service warned that hot, dry conditions with strong Santa Ana winds could continue posing a fire danger in Southern California through Tuesday afternoon. The state has already seen more than 8,100 wildfires that have killed 29 people, scorched 5,780 square miles (14,970 square kilometers) and destroyed more than 7,000 buildings.
帕特里克·瑞安（Patrick Ryan）住在圣罗莎（Santa Rosa）郊外的索诺玛县（Sonoma County），他整夜都在试图与火焰作斗争并拯救他的房子，幸存下来。
“Surreal, let me just put it that way. It brings everything about that night in 2017 right back again,” Ryan said.
Mike Christianson and his wife, Mluz Torres, who were at an evacuation center Tuesday, watched the fire engulf their Napa County home.
“It was within five minutes, the entire side of the hill was on fire. All trees, all burning, all roaring like a jet,” he said. “And at that moment, we realized that it was time to go. So we grabbed a few things, jumped in the car.”
索诺玛县警长马克·埃西克（Mark Essick）在周二的新闻发布会上承认社区中的“一些严重的火灾疲劳”。
埃西克说：“许多人都感受到了效果，许多人正在撤离并撤离多次，我只希望每个人都知道我们继续支持您。”
The blaze tore through many iconic wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties and the five-starred Meadowood Resort, home to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.
在北部，在加利福尼亚州已经是历史悠久的野火季节中，沙斯塔县农村地区的一场大火已经摧毁了近150座建筑，并杀死了三人。他们死亡的情况尚不清楚。佐格大火撤离了1,200多人，该火灾至少燃烧了62平方英里（160平方公里）。
佐格事故指挥官肖恩·卡瓦诺（Sean Kavanaugh）周二表示，来自北方的风已经消退，使消防员有机会在大火周围获取资源。
“天气给了我们休息。我们将借此机会，随着天气的变化，平静。”他说。
该地区也发生了最近的火灾破坏。就在两年前，这是致命的卡尔大火（Carr Fire）烧毁的 - 臭名昭著的是，它造成了巨大的龙卷风般的火旋转。
