緊急救援人員在日本岩手縣撲救大型森林火災
Emergency crews battle large forest fire in Japan's Iwate prefecture
過去一週,救災人員一直在日本岩手縣大槌町撲滅一場巨大的森林大火。
For the past week, emergency crews have been battling a massive forest fire in the town of Otsuchi, located in Japan's Iwate Prefecture.
感謝4月27日的降雨助益,火勢目前已大致受控。
Thanks to helpful rainfall on April 27, the fire is now largely under control.
在緊急狀態最嚴峻時,超過3,000名居民遭撤離,但目前撤離令已逐步解除。
At the height of the emergency, over 3,000 residents were evacuated, though these orders are now being lifted.
儘管有八棟建築物毀損,所幸無人員傷亡。
While eight buildings were lost, no injuries were reported.
專家指出日本北部冬季日益乾燥,這很可能受氣候變遷影響,使得這些山區更容易受到火災威脅。
Experts suggest that increasingly dry winters in northern Japan, likely influenced by climate change, are making these mountainous regions more vulnerable to fire.
