美国西部地区正遭受严重热浪侵袭，气温预计达到华氏110至120度1，风速预计为每小时30至40英里1，这些极端气象条件大幅提升了野火风险。俄勒冈州东部已发布罕见的"特别危险情况"红旗警告1。
俄勒冈州和华盛顿州的火灾形势尤为严峻。俄勒冈州已烧毁约180万英亩土地1，而华盛顿州超过1000场火灾烧毁约42.5万英亩1，创2021年以来新高1。华盛顿州还有12场大火单独烧毁超20万英亩1。
应对火灾威胁，华盛顿州州长Bob Ferguson已临时禁止户外燃烧至9月底1。当地消防员资源紧张，相关人士表示消防员力不从心1。
A severe heatwave is gripping the western United States, with temperatures expected to reach between 110 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit1. The extreme heat has dramatically escalated wildfire risks across the region, particularly in Oregon and Washington state, where current and projected fire conditions pose mounting challenges for emergency responders.
In Oregon, approximately 1.8 million acres of land have been burned as of July1, while Washington state has experienced over 1,000 fires that have consumed roughly 425,000 acres1—marking the highest acreage burned in that state since 20211. The severity of conditions has prompted unusual measures: eastern Oregon has issued a rare "special dangerous situation" red flag warning1, and Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has implemented a temporary ban on outdoor burning through the end of September1. Wind speeds are forecast to reach 30 to 40 miles per hour1, compounding the risk. Within Washington state alone, 12 major fires have destroyed over 200,000 acres1, underscoring the scale of the crisis that is straining firefighting resources across the region.
