Benzinga ·  01/14 17:42

The Los Angeles area is bracing Tuesday for another stretch of "extreme fire weather": the National Weather service issued a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" red flag warning for Southern California.

洛杉磯地區週二正在爲另一段"極端火災天氣"做好準備:國家天氣局爲南加州發佈了"特別危險的情況"紅旗警告。

The Details: Firefighters are again facing high winds of 40 to 70 miles per hour as they fight to contain the wildfires that have caused at least 25 deaths and burned more than 60 square miles in the Los Angeles area.

詳情:消防員再次面臨每小時40至70英里的強風,他們正在努力撲滅已造成至少25人死亡並燒燬洛杉磯地區超過60平方英里的野火。

The Los Angeles Fire Department reports the Eaton Fire is now at 35% containment and the Palisades Fire is now at 17% containment as of Tuesday morning.

洛杉磯消防局報告稱,伊頓火災目前控制在35%,帕利塞德火災目前控制在17%,截至週二早晨。

"Severe fire weather conditions will continue through tomorrow," Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone said.

洛杉磯縣消防局局長安東尼·C·馬羅內表示:"嚴峻的火災天氣條件將持續到明天。"

"The worst winds are predicted today for the late afternoon and into Wednesday," Marrone added.

馬羅內補充說:"預計今天晚些時候和週三將出現最惡劣的風。"

Approximately 88,000 Los Angeles County residents are under evacuation orders and more than 84,000 residents are under evacuation warnings, county Sheriff Robert Luna said Tuesday during a news conference, as reported by CNN.

洛杉磯縣治安官羅伯特·盧納在週二的新聞發佈會上表示,約有88,000名洛杉磯縣居民面臨撤離命令,超過84,000名居民面臨撤離警告,CNN報道了此消息。

Edison Faces Lawsuits: At least five lawsuits were filed against Southern California Edison, a subsidiary of Edison International (NYSE:EIX), on Monday, according to an ABC News report.

愛迪生面臨訴訟:根據ABC新聞網的報道,至少五起訴訟於週一針對南加州愛迪生公司(愛迪生國際的子公司,紐交所:EIX)被提交。

The lawsuits allege Edison failed to de-energize its electrical equipment that potentially ignited the Eaton fire despite red flag warnings issued by the National Weather Service.

這些訴訟稱,儘管國家天氣局發佈了紅旗警告,但愛迪生未能切斷其可能引發伊頓火災的電氣設備的電源。

California fire agencies also confirmed on Monday they are investigating Southern California Edison over the possibility that downed utility equipment contributed to the Hurst fire, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.

加州消防機構週一確認,他們正在調查南加州愛迪生,考慮到倒下的電力設備可能導致了赫斯特火災,洛杉磯時報報道。

The company said in a statement on Sunday that it filed two Electric Safety Incident Reports, one related to the Eaton fire and one related to the Hurst fire.

該公司在週日的聲明中表示,他們提交了兩份電氣安全事件報告,一份與伊頓火災有關,另一份與赫斯特火災有關。

SCE said a downed power line was discovered at a time and location near the Hurst fire ignition, but it does not yet know whether the damage occurred before or after the start of the fire.

南加州愛迪生表示,在赫斯特火災點燃的時間和地點附近發現了一根倒下的電線,但尚不清楚損壞是在火災開始之前還是之後發生的。

"We've seen in your reporting the videos, we've seen the photos, so we know that there was fire there. We don't know what caused it," Edison CEO Pedro Pizarro told ABC7 on Monday.

「我們在你們的報道中看到了視頻,看到了一些照片,所以我們知道那裏發生了火災。我們不知道是什麼導致的,」愛迪生首席執行官佩德羅·皮薩羅週一對農業銀行7說道。

"Again, there was the obvious signature that we would see normally, but we have not been able to get up close to those lines because firefighters have determined that it hasn't been safe to do that yet. Whatever we find, we'll be transparent with our public," Pizarro added.

「再次強調,我們通常會看到的明顯跡象,但我們尚未能夠靠近那些電線,因爲消防員已判斷尚不安全。無論我們發現什麼,我們會對公衆透明,」皮薩羅補充道。

In 2021, SCE agreed to pay $550 million in fines and penalties related to fires that year which burned more than 380,000 acres and destroyed thousands of homes.

在2021年,南加州愛迪生同意支付55000萬的罰款和處罰,跟該年焚燒超過380,000英畝土地並摧毀數千棟房屋的火災有關。

Edison International stock has fallen nearly 28% since the fires began last week. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (NYSE:PCG), another California utility, has seen its stock fall nearly 20% in the past week.

自上週火災爆發以來,愛迪生國際的股票下跌近28%。另一家加州公用事業公司太平洋煤氣電力公司(紐交所:PCG)的股票在過去一週下跌近20%。
