圣安娜风带来高温与火险 一名女子涉嫌在安吉利斯国家森林纵火被捕

洛杉矶 — 一股弱圣安娜风本周末影响南加州,带来异常高温与火灾风险。美国国家气象局表示,洛杉矶县周日气温将升至80多华氏度、部分地区接近90度,东北风风速每小时20至30英里、阵风可达45英里,山区局地阵风可达55英里,相对湿度降至8%至20%。洛杉矶市消防局的红旗停车限制周六早上6时起在火灾高危区实施,已于周日早上6时解除。洛杉矶县海滩的海滩危险警示持续至周二上午,橙县沿海地区的海岸洪水警示持续至周二中午。
就在火险高企之际,一名47岁的洛杉矶女子 Sheila Nartatez 涉嫌在安吉利斯国家森林纵火被捕。洛杉矶县警长局表示,美国林务局消防人员周六凌晨4时45分左右,在 Little Tujunga Canyon 路16英里标记附近发现一处小面积灌木火,并看到 Nartatez 在火场附近行走。火势很快被扑灭,过火面积约半英亩。县警长局 Crescenta Valley 分站警员随后将她拘留;她被关押在 Lynwood 市的 Century 区域拘留中心,保释金定为3.5万美元。
县警长局在声明中说:「在红旗警告期间鲁莽生火本身就极其危险。强风能把火星带到很远的地方,点燃多处火头,让一场小火变成无法控制的野火。」该站站长 Ryan A. Vienna 表示,红旗风期间该站增派了巡逻力量执行防火值守,并感谢消防部门快速扑灭这场可能危及全县居民的火灾。纵火动机尚未公布,案件仍在调查中。
Santa Ana Winds Bring Heat and Fire Danger; Woman Arrested for Allegedly Starting a Brush Fire in Angeles National Forest
LOS ANGELES — A weak Santa Ana wind event is bringing unseasonable heat and elevated fire danger to Southern California this weekend. The National Weather Service expects Los Angeles County highs in the mid-80s to around 90 on Sunday, with northeast winds of 20 to 30 mph, gusts to 45 mph and isolated mountain gusts of 45 to 55 mph, and relative humidity falling to between 8 and 20 percent. The Los Angeles Fire Department's red-flag parking restrictions, in effect since 6 a.m. Saturday in very high fire-hazard severity zones, were lifted at 6 a.m. Sunday. A beach hazards statement remains in effect for Los Angeles County beaches through Tuesday morning, and a coastal flood advisory runs through noon Tuesday for Orange County coastal areas.
Amid the fire danger, a 47-year-old Los Angeles woman, Sheila Nartatez, was arrested for allegedly starting a brush fire in the Angeles National Forest. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said U.S. Forest Service firefighters saw Nartatez walking near a small brush fire on Little Tujunga Canyon Road near mile marker 16 at about 4:45 a.m. Saturday. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, which burned about half an acre. Deputies from the Crescenta Valley Station detained her; she is being held at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood in lieu of $35,000 bail.
"Starting a fire recklessly is inherently dangerous, especially during red-flag warnings for high-wind events," the sheriff's department said. "Strong winds can carry burning embers over long distances, igniting multiple fires and transforming a small fire into an uncontrollable wildfire." Captain Ryan A. Vienna said the station deploys additional units for fire watch during red-flag events. No motive has been released, and the investigation is ongoing.
