周六,西班牙和法国境内失控野火持续蔓延,超过26.7万人被迫逃离西欧部分地区。

西班牙首都马德里市中心北部的屋顶露台被厚厚的黑色灰烬覆盖,当地有7万人被疏散,居民因刺鼻的烟雾不得不紧闭门窗。

西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯前往马德里附近的火灾现场视察,他表示当前首要任务是“拯救生命”,同时警告未来仍将面临一场“艰巨”的扑救工作。其政府已宣布进入全国紧急状态。

桑切斯称,今年以来西班牙境内的野火已烧毁13万公顷森林,高于过去十年年均10万公顷的烧毁面积。他表示,周六天气条件有所好转,为消防人员控制火势提供了“窗口期”。

“未来几个小时仍将十分棘手,因为尽管气温有所下降,但我们无法确切预知风力变化和风速大小,”他说道。

38岁的杰奎琳·比利亚弗朗卡原籍秘鲁,周五与丈夫和两个女儿一同疏散至马德里。她表示,当烟雾涌入她居住的纳瓦拉加梅利亚村时,“我以为一切都会被烧毁,房子和所有东西都保不住了。”

“现在这里可以正常呼吸——昨天简直让人无法忍受,”她在一间改作避难所的体育馆里说道。

在一处郊区小镇的疏散人员中,有视听技术人员路易斯。他原本一下午都在协助佩拉约斯德拉普雷萨村的居民疏散,随后自己也接到了疏散命令。

“一开始我哭了,因为那是我长大的地方。但现在,更多的是愤怒和无奈,因为只要不允许我们回去看看家园变成什么样,我们什么也做不了,”他对法新社电视台说道。

西班牙和法国境内的野火因干燥易燃的环境快速蔓延,而两国自5月以来接连遭遇热浪,进一步加剧了这种极端条件。

科学家表示,全球变暖正在加剧干旱,导致气象灾害愈发极端且频发。欧洲是因气候变化变暖速度最快的大陆。

在法国,已有近24.2万英亩土地被野火烧毁——法国内政部长洛朗·努涅斯称这是“历史性纪录”,烧毁面积几乎是巴黎的10倍。努涅斯周六表示,法国至少有19.7万人因野火被疏散,这“可能”是该国和平时期规模最大的一次疏散行动。

根据欧洲森林火灾信息系统的卫星数据,今年以来欧盟各国境内的总过火面积已达到有记录以来的第二高。

两国的重大野火已持续燃烧两到三天,数百名消防人员昼夜奋战,已疲惫不堪。

法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努称此次野火史无前例,并表示吉伦特省的火势过于猛烈,甚至催生了局地风。

“我们的优先级很明确:保护民众生命,”他在社交媒体上发帖称,并补充道疏散命令“必须毫无延迟地遵守”。

“在法国民众的安全问题上,我们不会冒任何风险,”他补充道。

法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙已部署1000名士兵协助波尔多附近的消防工作,周六其政府还下令派遣一架A400M军用运输机加入现有小型飞机的灭火编队。

这架可投放20吨阻燃剂的改装A400M是一项实验性改装方案,刚刚完成准备和测试工作。

巴黎消防部门负责人周六对法新社表示,约100名来自首都的消防员将被派往西南部地区,此前已有45名消防员和6辆车辆被部署至该区域。

西班牙和法国已请求并获得了其他欧洲国家派遣飞机提供的援助。

意大利表示已派出两架加拿大水陆两栖灭火飞机前往西班牙。西班牙民防服务部门称,预计周六将有另外两架飞机从希腊抵达,与已部署在西班牙的荷兰和葡萄牙飞机汇合。

法国将接收克罗地亚的两架灭火飞机、葡萄牙的另外两架飞机,以及捷克共和国和斯洛伐克的两架重型“黑鹰”直升机。

“这场面相当震撼,甚至有些吓人,”法国阿尔雷镇居民洛朗·莫雷蒂对美联社说道。“如此大规模的疏散此前从未发生过。我们真正希望的是消防员能尽快控制住火势。”

当局表示,已有数十名法国消防员受伤,但两国均未报告人员死亡。

法国西南部地区的学校和体育馆已设立紧急避难所,收容那些不知家园将变成何种模样的游客和居民。

“没人能为我们提供住宿,”49岁的卡罗琳·拉罗德说道。她带着三只猫从索莫的家中逃至波尔多的一个大型机库,这里收容了从阿卡雄盆地疏散出来的数千人。

75岁的爱尔兰游客努阿拉·凯利表示,她从未见过这样的场面。

“从来没有,从来没有,从来没有,从来没有,从来没有过,我周游过世界,经历过各种情况,”她在波尔多这座如今容纳了数千人的大型会展中心对法新社说道。

环法自行车赛主办方宣布,将因野火缩短周日的最后赛段赛程。

“本着与受影响地区和社区团结互助的精神,我们决定调整从图瓦里到巴黎的最后赛段路线,”主办方在一份声明中说道。

法国卫生官员本周早些时候表示,上个月法国因一场历史性热浪额外死亡的人数比平时多出至少5700人。这一数字较6月和7月初创纪录高温期间的全国预估死亡人数有显著上升。

在意大利,数千名应急人员在西西里岛和卡拉布里亚地区扑救数十起野火。当地一名官员称,纵火犯将浸有易燃液体的破布系在流浪猫尾巴上以扩散火势,从而引发了这些火灾。

Wildfires in France and Spain force 267,000 to flee as crews continue to battle untamed blazes

More than 267,000 people have been forced to flee parts of Western Europe on Saturday as out-of-control wildfires continued to rage in Spain and France.

Thick black ash coated roof terraces in the north of Madrid’s center, the Spanish capital, where 70,000 people were evacuated as residents were forced to keep their windows closed by the smell of throat-irritating smoke.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, visiting the fire zone near Madrid, said the priority was to “save lives” while warning that a “complex” fight lay ahead. His government declared a national emergency.

Fires have burned 130,000 hectares of forest already this year in Spain, up from an annual average of 100,000 hectares over the past decade, Sanchez said. He said more favorable weather on Saturday offered “a window of opportunity” for fire crews to bring the blazes under control.

“We are going to have some complex hours ahead because although the temperatures have gone down, we do not know exactly how the wind will develop, how strong it will be,” he said.

Jacqueline Villafranca, a 38-year-old originally from Peru who evacuated to Madrid on Friday with her husband and their two daughters, said when smoke filled her village of Navalagamella, “I thought everything was going to burn, the house and everything.”

“Here you can breathe normally — yesterday it was unbearable,” she said, sitting in a gymnasium-turned-shelter.

Among those who fled from a suburban town was audiovisual technician Luis, who had spent the afternoon helping evacuees from the village of Pelayos de la Presa when he received the order to evacuate.

“I cried at first because it’s where I grew up. But now, it’s more a feeling of anger and resignation, because there’s nothing we can do as long as we’re not allowed to go back and see what we’ll find there,” he told AFPTV.

The fires in Spain and France advanced quickly because of tinderbox conditions worsened by successive heat waves the two countries have experienced since May.

Scientists say global warming is increasing droughts and causing weather emergencies to become more extreme and more frequent. Europe is the fastest-warming continent due to climate change.

In France, nearly 242,000 acres have been ravaged by wildfires – which French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said was a “historic record” nearly 10 times the size of Paris. At least 197,000 people have been evacuated in France as a result of the wildfires, in what was “probably” the biggest peacetime evacuation the country has seen, Nunez said on Saturday.

The total area of land burned so far this year across EU countries is the second largest on record, according to satellite data from the European Forest Fire Information System.

The major fires in both countries have been burning for two or three days, exhausting the many hundreds of firefighters battling them around the clock.

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu described the fires as unprecedented and said the Gironde blaze had become so strong that it was generating its own winds.

“Our priority is clear: protecting human lives,” he posted on social media, adding that evacuation orders “must be respected without delay.”

“We will take no risks when it comes to the safety of the French people,” he added.

French President Emmanuel Macron has deployed 1,000 soldiers to help firefighters near Bordeaux, and on Saturday his government ordered an A400M military transport aircraft to join the fleet of smaller planes already dousing flames.

The modified A400M, which can release 20 tons of fire retardant, is an experimental fit-out that has only just completed preparations and testing.

The head of the Paris fire brigade on Saturday told AFP that around 100 firefighters from the French capital were being deployed to help in the southwest, adding to 45 firefighters and six vehicles already sent there.

Spain and France have also requested, and received, help in the form of aircraft sent from other European countries.

Italy said two of its Canadair water-dumping firefighting planes were deployed to Spain. Spain’s Civil Protection Service said it was expecting the arrival Saturday of two others from Greece, to join aircraft from the Netherlands and Portugal already deployed in Spain.

France is expecting two water-bombers from Croatia as well as two other planes from Portugal and two heavy-lift Black Hawk helicopters from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

“It’s quite impressive and even frightening,” Laurent Moretti, a resident in the town of Arès in France, told the Associated Press. “An evacuation on this scale has never happened before. All we really hope is that the firefighters can quickly get it under control.”

Dozens of French firefighters have been injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either country.

Emergency shelters were set up in schools and gymnasiums in southwestern France for tourists and residents left wondering what they would return to.

“We had no one to put us up,” said Caroline Larrode, 49, who had fled her home in Saumos for a huge Bordeaux hangar housing people evacuated from the Arcachon Basin with her three cats.

Nuala Kelly, a 75-year-old Irish tourist, said she had never seen anything like this.

“Never, never, never, never, never, and I’ve travelled all over the world and been in all sorts of situations,” she told AFP at Bordeaux’s vast exhibition center now housing thousands of people.

The organizers of the Tour de France announced they would shorten Sunday’s final stage of the race due to the blazes.

“In a spirit of national solidarity with the areas and communities affected, it was decided to adapt the route for the final stage from Thoiry to Paris,” the organizers said in a statement.

At least 5,700 more people than usual died in France last month amid a historic heat wave, French health officials said earlier this week. That figure represented a sharp increase in the estimated death toll nationwide from June and early July’s record temperatures.

In Italy, thousands of emergency workers battled scores of fires in Sicily and in the Calabria region, where a local official said arsonists had started fires by tying rags soaked in flammable liquid to the tails of stray cats to spread the flames.
