As of early Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles Times wildfires map showed 12 active fires burning across the state, with more than 100,000 acres already burned. The largest active fire is the Kincade fire, shown above in Geyserville. It started Oct. 23 in Sonoma County and has burned 74,324 acres so far with only 15% of that contained.

截至周二凌晨，《洛杉磯時(shí)報(bào)》(Los Angeles Times)的野火地圖顯示，整個(gè)州有12處活火在燃燒，已經(jīng)有超過(guò)10萬(wàn)英畝的土地被燒毀。最大的火災(zāi)是金卡德火災(zāi)，如上圖所示。這場(chǎng)大火于10月23日在索諾瑪縣開(kāi)始，目前已燒毀了74,324英畝土地，其中只有15%得到了控制。

The fires are being fueled by high winds, low humidity and high temperatures.

大風(fēng)、低濕度和高溫助長(zhǎng)了火勢(shì)。

Due to hurricane-force winds, the Kincade fire initially grew at a rate of one football field every three seconds when it first started, according to CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller.

根據(jù)CNN氣象學(xué)家布蘭登·米勒的說(shuō)法，由于颶風(fēng)的力量，剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，Kincade大火以每三秒一個(gè)足球場(chǎng)的速度增長(zhǎng)。

The Getty fire broke out on Monday morning in West Los Angeles near the Getty Center and has burned 600 acres so far. Though not the largest or most damaging fire, the Times points out that it has hit some "of the priciest enclaves on Earth," forcing homeowners like NBA star LeBron James to evacuate and search for hotel rooms.

More than 25 million people in southern California are under red flag warnings for extreme fire conditions. In addition to the warnings, power outages have been rampant as utility companies shut off power to avoid the fire risks caused by downed power lines.

南加州有超過(guò)2500萬(wàn)人處于極端火災(zāi)危險(xiǎn)狀態(tài)。除了發(fā)出警告外，由于電力公司為了避免電線倒塌引起的火災(zāi)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)而切斷電源，停電現(xiàn)象也很嚴(yán)重。

Roughly 587,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers were without power Monday afternoon due to intentional blackouts, according to The New York Times. The utility said it had restored service to an estimated 375,000 to 400,000 of 970,000 customers that were impacted. But it said many residents could remain without electricity for much of this week because more high winds are in the forecast. There are more planned outages for about 600,000 customers Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fire officials hope that the Kincade fire can be contained by early November but they say it could take months for the wildfires to be completely extinguished.

消防官員希望金卡德大火能在11月初得到控制，但他們表示，大火可能需要數(shù)月時(shí)間才能完全撲滅。

"We tentatively believe the fire will be contained November 7, again that is our best estimate based on models and projections," CalFIRE spokesman Jonathan Cox told CNN. "As far as when every smoking stump may be extinguished, that could be weeks if not months."

CalFIRE發(fā)言人Jonathan Cox告訴CNN:“我們暫時(shí)相信火災(zāi)將在11月7日得到控制，這也是我們基于模型和預(yù)測(cè)的最佳估計(jì)。”“當(dāng)每個(gè)吸煙的樹(shù)樁都被撲滅時(shí)，即使不是幾個(gè)月，也可能是幾個(gè)星期。”
