中新网6月29日电综合外电报道,美国科罗拉多州官员28日表示,该州近日爆发的山林大火据估计已经烧毁346栋住宅,迫使3万余人撤离家园。这是该州历史上破坏性最大的一次山林大火。
当地时间28日下午,科罗拉多州斯普林斯市市长巴奇(Steve Bach)表示,初步报告显示,山林大火已经焚毁346栋住宅,不过这仅仅是初步估计。
目前这次大火过火面积已达75平方公里以上,至少1.85万英亩乔木与灌木林被焚毁。
这次上星期六(23日)爆发的山林大火已持续6天,迫使3.5万民众撤离家园。
截至当地时间28日中午,已有10%的火点得到控制。灭火工作的花费已经达到320万美元。
不过救火工作已经出现了一些乐观的迹象。向美国空军学院逼近的大火已经停止前进,凉爽的天气条件也有利于遏制火势的蔓延。
当局派出1200多名消防员前往火区灭火,并部署重型灭火飞机与直升机予以支援。
美国总统奥巴马将于今天(29日)前往科罗拉多州视察火灾地区灾情,并会见消防人员。
