俄勒冈海岸海鲜加工厂大火：氨气威胁已受控，疏散建议仍在持续
10月25日上午9时前，俄勒冈州海岸小城纽波特的太平洋海鲜加工厂发生大火，浓烟笼罩这座人口仅一万出头的小城，消防部门一度发布周边区域疏散建议。纽波特市政府表示，起火初期在烟雾中检测到微量氨气，市政府建议市民如在纽波特尽量待在室内，外出时佩戴口罩。
俄勒冈州消防局长办公室随后派出危险品小组赶赴现场，使用专业设备监测空气并模拟可能的影响范围；经检查，厂内的氨气储罐并未破裂或泄漏，氨气威胁已得到控制。州消防局长玛丽安娜·鲁伊斯-坦普尔在声明中确认了这一进展。疏散建议虽非强制，但仍影响数百名周边居民。
太平洋海鲜公司副总裁阿什顿·迈耶表示，公司对今天的大火深感痛心，目前尚无人员受伤报告、所有员工均已确认安全，但预计损失将非常重大，全部损失程度仍需与应急部门共同评估。纽波特位于波特兰西南约90英里处，是俄勒冈重要的渔业城镇，这场大火对当地渔业加工与就业的影响仍有待观察。

Fire at Oregon Coast Seafood Plant in Newport: Ammonia Threat Contained, Evacuation Advisory Remains in Place
A fire broke out before 9 a.m. on October 25 at the Pacific Seafood processing plant in Newport, a small city of just over 10,000 people on the Oregon coast, sending thick smoke over the town and prompting an evacuation advisory for surrounding areas. The City of Newport said trace amounts of ammonia were detected in the smoke early on, and advised residents to stay indoors where possible and wear a mask if they had to go out.
The Oregon State Fire Marshal's office then sent a hazmat team to the scene, using specialized equipment to monitor the air and model the possible impact area. Inspection found that the plant's ammonia tanks had neither ruptured nor leaked, and the ammonia threat was brought under control. State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple confirmed the progress in a statement. The evacuation advisory, while not mandatory, still affected several hundred nearby residents.
Pacific Seafood Vice President Ashton Meyer said the company was deeply saddened by the fire, that there were no reports of injuries and all employees were accounted for, but that losses were expected to be very significant, with the full extent still to be assessed together with emergency officials. Newport, about 90 miles southwest of Portland, is an important Oregon fishing town, and the fire's impact on local seafood processing and jobs remains to be seen.
