佐治亚州南部两场大规模山火已造成超100所住宅被毁,过火面积超过3.8万英亩。

极端干旱已将该地区变成易燃的火药桶,助长了火势蔓延。佐治亚州乡村地区昨夜又爆发了新的山火。

一名女子目睹大火逼近,带着4名孩子和10只狗逃往佛罗里达州,她通过Ring家庭安防摄像头在手机上眼睁睁看着自家房屋被烧毁。
“当我的两台设备都断了网,画面变成黑屏,我再也看不到任何东西时,那种痛苦真的难以言表,因为我知道,他们……我的家,已经没了。”安娜·杜德克在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者马克·斯特拉斯曼采访时说道。

另一位居民杰西·摩根失去了自己1996年创办的汽车维修店。他告诉CBS新闻,保险公司拒绝了他的理赔申请,因为“天灾”不在承保范围内。
“我确实需要帮助,”他说,“但你知道,我的自尊心太强了。我不会厚着脸皮去乞求别人帮忙。”

州长布莱恩·坎普周五视察了受灾现场,并与试图控制火势的应急救援人员举行了会面。佐治亚州林业委员会周五证实,布兰特利县的山火过火面积已达7500英亩,而克林奇县的松林路山火过火面积已扩大至3.1万英亩以上。

坎普在新闻发布会上表示,联邦当局认定目前布兰特利82号公路山火和松林路山火是全美“最危险、规模最大、问题最严重的两场山火”。

他表示,官员们认为布兰特利82号公路山火的起因是一个派对气球落在电线上引发了火花。
“我们需要天气好转,但在那之前,我们会全力扑救这些山火,尽一切可能控制住火势。”坎普说道。

预计周末火灾活动仍将处于极高水平。

2 massive Georgia wildfires destroy more than 100 homes, scorch over 38,000 acres

Two massive wildfires in south Georgia have scorched more than 38,000 acres and destroyed over 100 homes.

Extreme drought has turned the region into a tinderbox and allowed flames to spread. Overnight, new fires sparked in rural south Georgia.

One woman — who saw flames coming and fled with four kids and 10 dogs to Florida — watched her family’s home burn on her phone, through Ring cameras.

“When both of my devices were offline, and it was black and I couldn’t see no more, it was so gut-wrenching because then I knew, like, they got … what I call home,” Anna Dudek told CBS News’ Mark Strassmann.

Another resident, Jesse Morgan, lost his automotive business, which he started in 1996. He told CBS News his insurance denied his claim, since “acts of God” aren’t covered.

“I definitely could use some help,” he said. “But I’m, you know, I guess my pride is too much. I’m not gonna get out there and ask for it.”

Gov. Brian Kemp toured the damage on Friday and met with first responders trying to contain the flames. The Georgia Forestry Commission confirmed Friday that the Brantley County fire had grown to 7,500 acres, while the Pineland Road fire in Clinch County had expanded to more than 31,000 acres.

Kemp said at a press conference that federal authorities determined the Brantley Highway 82 fire and the Pineland Road Fire were currently the “two most dangerous, biggest, problematic fires anywhere” in the country.

He said officials believe the Brantley Highway 82 fire started when a party balloon landed on a power line and caused a spark.

“We need a change in the weather, but until we get that, we’re just going to stay after these fires and do everything we can to get them contained,” Kemp said.

Fire activity was expected to remain extremely high over the weekend.
