San Diego Wildfires SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2007

在高速公路上因為居民大批撤離家園 結果造成高速公路嚴重大塞車的情況 Evacuation created a huge traffic backup.

森林大火不是只是幾棵樹燒起來而已 . 他們是沿著山坡整片像火浪一樣撲過來的 Raging Wildfire!

你現在能理解火勢有多大了嗎？ The fire threatens the highway.

一台警車冒險近距離的監控火勢延燒到馬路對面 The fire is approaching the road, a police car watches.

消防員們努力的灌救 A fire truck came to the rescue!

你可以看到。火勢已經燒到高速公路交流道附近。不是只是在人煙稀少的郊區地方 The fire has gotten close to where people live.

大火燒到了住宅區外圍的樹木 A tree near the dense residential area has caught fire!

同上。你能想像這些住宅的居民心中會有多痛？他們辛苦工作儲蓄 才建立的家園就這樣燒毀了。為什麼要用那種病態的報導來描述他們 ?! How do you feel if this were where you lived?!

原本應該是家人的避風港就這樣便成一片火海 The house, once a safe haven, is now engulfed in fire.

勇哉消防員。目前已經有好幾位英勇的消防員為了救火而犧牲生命 也有好幾十位消防員因此而受到嚴重灼傷。 A brave firefighter. There were already casualties.

消防員試圖灌救燃燒中的民房 Can he save the house?

我真的能 夠體會，如果那是我的家我可能會崩潰的 ... How devastating would that be if that were my house?!

燃燒中的房屋民宅慢慢的倒塌了 ... The house is burning down to the ground.

大火過後一片狼籍只剩下灰燼的家園你能想像如果這個家的主人知道我們 說他們是 5 星級的難民他們會作何感想 ??? After the fire, nothing is left.

燒毀的家園 .... The whole house is gone!

殘破的星條旗在災後的現場屹立 ... Except one battered Old Glory

一棟民宅，屋頂已經燒毀了，不過他算是上千 戶燒 毀民宅中比較幸運的了 .... Some are lucky! Only the roofs got cinched!

加州警騎在濃煙中奔波維持秩序 Policemen, patrolling in dense smoke

一位消防員拿下面罩稍做休息。疲憊的面容上不滿了濃煙留下的痕跡 One tired fireman

精疲力竭的消防員只能草草的用餐稍做休息立刻又投入救災 很多人已經超過 40 個小時沒有睡眠了 Tired firemen taking a lunch break. Many have not slept for more than 40 hours .

一位居民正企圖帶著他的馬匹逃離家園美國人是很重視生命的 ..... 不管他是人還是動物 Save the horses!

整個社區只剩下一片火海跟濃煙 .. The neighborhood is nothing but fire and smoke!

火災照成空氣品質嚴重變差。有些居民只能用布遮住口鼻 大火的灰燼會造成肺氣種等等的呼吸道疾病 Smoke, smoke everywhere!

大批的災民排隊等候領取食物跟飲水 ( 他們有誰看起來像是老爺太太少爺小姐的 !?) Waiting in line for food and water

部分災民只能在附近高中的體育館 內避難。並且焦急的看著 新聞轉播火災的發展。 哪裡像是 5 星級了 !? Fire victims taking shelter in a nearby high school gym
