洛杉矶 — 据预计,加利福尼亚州大片地区将从周四起出现火险天气,数千人可能因公用事业公司为避免在预计将持续到周六的炎热多风条件下引发山火而主动切断电力。
LOS ANGELES — Large swaths of California are expected to see fire weather starting Thursday and thousands of people could lose power as utilities try not to spark wildfires during hot and windy conditions expected to last through Saturday.
面对其在2025年致命山火中的应对受到批评的洛杉矶市长卡伦·巴斯表示,她已指示消防部门提前部署人员和装备以应对即将到来的风力。她还说,消防部门也已向州应急服务办公室请求援助。
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who has faced criticism for her city’s response to deadly fires in 2025, said she’s directed the fire department to deploy personnel and equipment ahead of the winds. The fire department has also requested assistance from the state’s office of emergency services, she said.
“这是一场相当广泛的升级火险天气事件,因此整个南加州地区都应真正保持警惕,”国家气象局气象学家罗斯·舍恩菲尔德说。
“It’s a pretty widespread event of elevated fire weather, so the whole SoCal region should really be on alert,” said Rose Schoenfeld, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
被称为圣安娜风的干燥、温和且阵性的东北风——这些风从南加州内陆吹向海岸和近海——预计将会出现,其中周四下午至周五下午的风力预计最强。
Dry, warm and gusty northeast winds known as Santa Anas , which blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast and offshore, are expected, with the strongest winds forecast for Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon.
舍恩菲尔德表示,洛杉矶县的圣加布里埃尔山脉以及主要位于文图拉县的圣苏萨纳山脉的风力预计将达到每小时20至40英里(32至64公里),阵风将达到每小时50至70英里(80至113公里)。圣路易斯奥比斯波县的圣卢西亚山脉部分地区也预计会出现升级但短暂的临界火险天气条件。
The winds are expected to reach 20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 kph), with gusts from 50 to 70 mph (80 to 113 kph), in the San Gabriel mountains in Los Angeles County and the Santa Susana mountains, which are mostly in Ventura County, Schoenfeld said. Elevated, though brief, critical fire weather conditions are also forecast for portions of the Santa Lucia mountains in San Luis Obispo County.
危险天气早在北加州就已开始,国家气象局表示,从周三夜晚起,内华达山脉及其山麓的一些社区就已出现强风、高温和低湿度。
Dangerous conditions began earlier in Northern California, with some communities in the Sierra Nevada and its foothills experiencing strong winds, high temperatures and low humidity starting Wednesday night, the National Weather Service said.
该局从周四起对加利福尼亚州中部和北部的部分地区发布了红旗警报,警告称任何火灾都可能迅速蔓延,该警报将持续到周五早上。当天气条件增加野火风险时,就会发布此类警报。
The service issued a Red Flag Warning for parts of central and Northern California starting Thursday and lasting through Friday morning, saying that any fires would spread rapidly. Such warnings are issued when weather conditions create an increased risk of wildfires.
太平洋燃气电力公司周三下午通报称,已向29个县的8.8万客户发出通知,表示可能需要从周三夜间开始主动切断电力,以降低强风导致带电输电线路倒塌引发火灾的风险。
Pacific Gas and Electric Company had notified 88,000 customers in 29 counties as of Wednesday afternoon that it may need to proactively turn power off starting Wednesday night to reduce the risk of winds toppling over energized power lines that could start a fire.
该公司表示,从中部海岸到内华达山脉北部角落的客户可能面临的服务中断可能持续到周六下午。
The potential interruption in service to customers from the Central Coast to the upper corners of the Sierra Nevada could last through Saturday afternoon, the company said.
在南加州,文图拉县和洛杉矶县山区的红旗警报将从周四早上持续到周五晚上生效。
In Southern California, the Red Flag Warning for the mountainous areas in Ventura and Los Angeles counties will be in effect from Thursday morning through Friday night.
洛杉矶消防局局长杰米·穆尔表示:“我们正在增加人员、安排人员就位并提前部署设备,以应对即将到来的天气,确保在第一通求助电话到来前做好准备。”他还说:“我们也请居民尽一份力。清理街道、制定计划并保持信息畅通。”2025年1月,帕利塞德大火——受圣安娜风助长——席卷洛杉矶山坡社区,造成12人死亡,毁掉了拥有壮丽海景的豪宅。同一时间,洛杉矶县阿尔塔迪纳市另一场大火造成19人死亡,摧毁了超过9400处住宅和商业建筑。
“We are augmenting our staffing, positioning our people and pre-deploying equipment ahead of this weather so we are ready before the first call comes in,” Los Angeles Fire Chief Jaime Moore said. “We are asking residents to do their part, too. Clear the streets, have a plan and stay informed.”In January 2025, the Palisades Fire — fanned by Santa Ana winds — ripped through a hillside Los Angeles neighborhood, killing 12 people and destroying mansions with spectacular ocean views. Another fire that burned at the same time in the city of Altadena, in Los Angeles County, killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,400 homes and businesses.
申恩菲尔德表示,圣安娜风的强度不会达到当时大火期间的水平——当时阵风时速达到60到100英里(96到160公里)。
Schoenfeld said the Santa Ana winds are not going to be as strong as during those fires, when they were gusting 60 to 100 mph (96 to 160 kph).
当局认定,帕利塞德大火是拉克曼大火的延续。官员表示,伊顿大火是由南加州爱迪生公司一座闲置输电塔产生的火花引起的。
Authorities determined the Palisades Fire was a carryover fire from the Lachman Fire. The Eaton Fire was caused by sparks from an idle transmission tower owned by Southern California Edison, officials said.
南加州爱迪生公司周三的在线仪表盘显示,该公司正在考虑实施公共安全断电,这可能影响kern、洛杉矶、圣巴巴拉、图莱和文图拉县的24.5万客户。其中大多数客户——12.4万——位于洛杉矶以北的文图拉县。
Southern California Edison’s online dashboard on Wednesday showed it was considering public safety shutoffs that could affect 245,000 customers in Kern, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura counties. Most of those customers — 124,000 — are in Ventura County, just north of Los Angeles.
