军用飞机将助英国“主动出击”应对野火,伯纳姆表示安迪·伯纳姆表示,军用飞机将被用于应对野火,他在经历了一个毁灭性的火灾夏季后,试图确保英国处于“主动出击”的地位。
Military aircraft to help get UK 'on front foot' to fight wildfires, Burnham says Andy Burnham said military aircraft will be used to tackle wildfires as he tries to ensure the UK is "on the front foot" following a summer of devastating blazes.
英国四个构成国的民用消防部门都将能够请求皇家空军的“支奴干”直升机和A400M运输机提供支援,以在偏远荒原和陡峭山坡等复杂地形扑灭野火。
Civilian fire services in all four nations will be able to request the support of the Royal Air Force's Chinook helicopters and A400M planes to fight wildfires on tough terrain such as remote moorland and steep hillsides.
在主持英国首届野火峰会时,首相概述了“改善我们应对能力”的初步步骤,此前该国“经历了一个前所未有的夏季”。
As he hosted the UK's first summit on wildfires, the prime minister outlined initial steps to "improve our response" after the country "lived through a summer that we've never seen before".
伯纳姆表示,这还包括为消防员提供更好的装备,以及改善土地管理以防止火势蔓延。
Burnham said this also includes better equipment for firefighters and improved land management to stop fires from spreading.
在经历了一个打破纪录的夏季后,政府于周五在利物浦举行的“野火韧性峰会”讨论了如何预防、应对和从这类大火中恢复。
After a record-breaking summer, the government's "wildfire resilience summit" in Liverpool on Friday discussed how to prevent, respond to and recover from such blazes.
根据国家消防局长委员会的数据,今年英格兰和威尔士发生了1350起野火,创下历史新高,比去年增加300多起,比2024年增加1000多起。
There have been 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales this year, an all-time high and up by more than 300 on last year and more than 1,000 on 2024, according to figures from the National Fire Chiefs Council.
2022年和2025年报告的野火数量纪录也被打破——但英国气候变化委员会警告,未来几十年风险将上升。
Records for the number of reported wildfires were also broken in 2022 and 2025 - but the UK's Climate Change Committee has warned the risk will rise in the coming decades.
国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷表示,这是皇家空军的“支奴干”直升机和四引擎A400M运输机首次配备装备应对野火。夏季期间,一些地区因缺乏空中支援而举步维艰。皇家空军“支奴干”机组人员此前已协助应对塞浦路斯的野火。
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said this was the first time the RAF's Chinooks and the four-engine A400Ms were being equipped to tackle wildfires. Some areas struggled with no air assistance in the summer. RAF Chinook crews have already helped respond, external to wildfires in Cyprus.

除军用飞机外,政府表示还将斥资4500万英镑,为一线消防员采购专用野火个人防护装备。
In addition to military aircraft, the government said it would also spend £45m on wildfire-specific personal protective equipment for firefighters on the ground.
政府补充说,这种装备比目前的消防装备更轻,现有装备是为建筑火灾设计的,不适合长时间穿着。
It is lighter than current firefighting equipment which is designed for fires in buildings and not meant to be worn for a long time, the government added.
部长们还承诺,从2027年4月至2029年4月投入2500万英镑,用于恢复英格兰干涸的泥炭地,使其成为天然防火隔离带,并为农民提供资金支持,以防火加固土地,例如挖掘水塘。
Ministers are also pledging a £25m scheme from April 2027 to April 2029 to restore dried-out peatlands in England so they are natural firebreaks, and financial support for farmers to fireproof their land such as by digging ponds.
峰会前的简报称:“政府还将考虑实施更严格的地方限制或产品禁令,以防止人们在火灾风险高时引发火灾”,此前曾临时禁止使用一次性烧烤架。
"The government will also look at tougher local restrictions or product bans to stop people starting fires when the risk is high," a briefing ahead of the summit said, following a temporary ban on disposable BBQs.
伯纳姆在峰会上会见了消防局长、地方领导人和科技公司专家,社区大臣安吉拉·雷纳也出席了会议。
Burnham met fire chiefs, local leaders and experts from tech companies at the summit, also attended by Communities Secretary Angela Rayner.
他说:“我认为过去我们往往是在补救,而今天的目标是试图未雨绸缪,认识到我们刚刚经历的这个夏天未来可能会成为常态。
He said: "I think too often in the past we've been playing catch up, and today is trying about trying to get on the front foot and recognise that the summer we've just had is likely to be a more regular situation going forward.
“因此,让我们在2027年夏季以及随后的夏季到来时,能更强有力地应对。”伯纳姆早些时候对记者表示,消防救援服务今夏“捉襟见肘”,消防员在“极其困难的条件下”工作,随后他承诺提供更好的装备。
"So make ourselves that bit stronger when it comes to the summer of 2027, and then indeed summers beyond." Burnham earlier told reporters that fire and rescue services were "stretched" this summer and firefighters had worked in "extremely difficult conditions" before committing to providing better equipment.
关于空中支援,首相表示:“我们在度假时可能会看到其他国家有飞机从空中向火灾倾泻水。我们认为我们需要这种能力。
On aerial support, the PM said: "We may see on holiday other countries where there are planes putting water from above on the fires. We believe we need that capability.
“国防部将为飞机配备这种能力,以便我们为未来的夏季做好更充分的准备。”伯纳姆还回忆起8月访问斯托布里奇的情景,以及“我们看到房屋在转瞬间化为灰烬”。
"The Ministry of Defence will be equipping aircraft with that capability, so we'll be better prepared for summers to come." Burnham also recalled visiting Stourbridge in August and how "we saw homes lost in a heartbeat".

本月初,环境、食品和农村事务委员会的议员们表示,英国的野火防范存在薄弱环节,包括获取空中灭火资源、重大事故期间确保供水以及在国家层面协调资源。议员们表示,目前获取空中灭火支援的体系“已不再适用”。
Earlier this month, MPs on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee said there were weaknesses in the UK's wildfire preparedness, including access to aerial firefighting resources, securing water supplies during major incidents and coordinating resources at a national level. MPs said the current system for obtaining aerial firefighting support was "no longer fit for purpose".
峰会上发布的另一项公告包括成立“野火人工智能小组”,将大学、科技公司和官员整合到“眼镜蛇”紧急委员会中,同时结合气象局的野火预报,并加强与地方分权政府的合作。
A further announcement at the summit included a "Wildfires AI Unit" to combine universities, tech firms and officials on the Cobra emergency committee, along with Met Office wildfire forecasts and closer work with devolved governments.
8月,政府在向英格兰和威尔士数百万部手机发送紧急警报前,曾召集“眼镜蛇”会议——此举引发了部分人的强烈不满。
In August, the government convened a Cobra meeting before sending an emergency alert to millions of phones across England and Wales - which sparked a backlash from some.
据气象局称,2026年夏季是英国有记录以来最热的夏季。在一项关于人为气候变化如何影响该夏季的研究中,气象局表示,所经历的高温发生的可能性因人为因素而增加了130倍。
Summer 2026 was the UK's hottest on record, according to the Met Office. In a study on how this summer was impacted by human-induced climate change, it said the heat experienced was made 130 times more likely.
今年,萨福克郡的邓维奇荒原和皇家鸟类保护协会明斯米尔保护区、凯恩戈姆山脉、汉普郡以及剑桥郡的霍姆沼泽等地的野火均被宣布为重大事故。消防员和公众在夏季野火中“被明知故犯地置于险境”
Major incidents were declared for wildfires this year in areas such as Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere in Suffolk, the Cairngorms, Hampshire and Holme Fen in Cambridgeshire. Firefighters and public 'knowingly put at risk' during summer wildfires
