The fire was one of several burning across Southern California as the firefighters tried getting a handle on the situation. The task could be made more difficult, as forecasters expect winds to pick up in the evening, with gusts between 40 to 60 mph.
这场大火是最近南加州发生的几起火灾之一，消防人员还在试图控制火情。天气预报员预计，晚上风力将到达40至60英里/小时，加剧灭火的难度。
“We’re doing everything possible to reduce the spread,” said Sean Rios, a spokesman for the L.A. County Fire Department. “The wind is a major factor. All ground and aerial resources are being utilized to the best of their capabilities, but we’re going to be here for a while.”
洛杉矶县消防局发言人Sean Rios表示：“我们正在尽一切可能控制火势蔓延。“风是主要因素。我们已经调动所有地面和空中资源灭火，但是还需要一定时间。”

"Those fire helicopter guys, those are rock stars, man," said one Canyon Country resident. "They do incredible jobs. Not much you can do. Just pray. Do what you can. Help your neighbors. That's about it."
“那些开着直升机的消防队员，就像摇滚明星一样。” 住在Canyon Country 一位居民说。“他们做着令人难以置信的工作。你无能为力，只是祈祷，尽力而为。帮助你的邻居。就是这样。”

加州再起森林大火——审视美国森林防火举措。
加州几乎每年都会发生森林大火，一些住在加州的网友称，对山火已经见怪不怪。
When I lived in CA this time of year we called fire season. Had lots of fires. Had a few evacs as well. Grabbed the dogs and the small safe full of important docs and got out.
我住在加州的时候，每年的这个时候我们称之为火灾季节。 我们对火灾和疏散逃生，已经习以为常。你要做的就是，带上你的狗和装满文件的保险箱，快走。
加州频繁的大火还与地理、气候、环保等因素有着紧密关系。一些网友认为加州政府无视森林防控，导致山火一而再发生。
Continue voting for politicians that do not support forest management and this will continue. Human over population without regard for survival of the fittest. Mother Earth will take care of it and live on.
继续投票给无视森林防控的政客，这就是结果，并且还将继续发生类似的事情。人口众多，不考虑优胜劣汰，那么地球母亲自然会收拾你们。
California should be punished for allowing all the air pollution and failure to control their fires.
加州应该为空气污染和无法控制火势而受到惩罚。
California needs to be held responsible for all the pollution they are creating. The Federal Government needs to step in and take control of all state government offices and operations. They have proven they can no longer act responsible and meet the requirements of governing a society.
加州需要对他们造成的所有污染负责。联邦政府需要接管和干预了。显然加州州政府已经不能够担负起社会治理的责任了。
