ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Wildfires continued to rip across Northern California early Thursday, as the state struggled to contain the blazes and to help thousands of people who are fleeing their homes amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and unsafe air thick with smoke. California’s oldest state park, Big Basin Redwoods State Park, has been badly damaged. The entire city of Healdsburg was told overnight to prepare to flee, while another blaze prompted evacuation orders on the edge of San Jose. But the pandemic has scrambled the state’s traditional evacuation plans. The largest group of fires, in wine country west of Sacramento, doubled in size Wednesday to 124,000 acres, according to @calfire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. At least 2 people have died in the firefighting effort. One was a helicopter pilot on a water-dropping mission who was killed in a crash in Fresno County on Wednesday. Another was a worker for Pacific Gas & Electric who died in Solano County. Tap the link in our bio for live updates.
