  • The Woolsey Fire was a wildfire that burned in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of the U.S. state of California. The fire ignited on November 8, 2018, and burned 96,949 acres (39,234 hectares) of land. The fire destroyed 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. It was one of several fires in California that ignited on the same day. While the nearby Hill Fire was contained with minimal damage on November 16, the Camp Fire in Northern California destroyed most of the town of Paradise, killing 85 people. The fire started in Woolsey Canyon on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory property, and burned 80% of the site, a complex of industrial research and development buildings belonging to Boeing, in the Santa Susana Mountains above the Simi Valley near the boundary between Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The Santa Ana winds, which often are a factor for Southern California fires, pushed the fire in a southerly direction throughout the first day. The Ventura freeway between the San Fernando Valley and the Conejo Valley was closed as the fire crossed and headed into the rugged Santa Monica Mountains. The fire raced through the chaparral-covered steep canyons where it encountered historic movie and TV sets, small ranches, and the houses of celebrities. Hundreds of houses in Malibu were destroyed or damaged on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway. Many of these were on Point Dume that juts out from the narrow coastal terrace that lies between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The mitigation measures Pepperdine University had in place successfully protected the campus, with students sheltering in place, to the south. The entire sparsely populated portion of the Malibu coast west to the community of Solromar, which includes state and national parklands, suffered damage from the fire. The fire cost at least $6 billion (2018 USD) in property damage. Thousands of residents were kept away from their houses in numerous neighborhoods along the Ventura Freeway and the communities along the Malibu coast. The evacuations frustrated residents as they lasted for many days as the fire continued to threaten houses especially when the winds increased and fanned the flames. The evacuated residents were incrementally allowed to return to see if their houses were damaged or destroyed as the fire continued to spread through the rugged wilderness at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains. Authorities in many of the damaged communities declared that they needed to prevent residents from returning quickly as neighborhoods were crowded with crews repairing downed power lines and other hazardous conditions. In the months after the fire, residents criticized what they thought was a slow and inadequate response by cities and counties during public meetings held by public officials. While this and other fires were burning, President Donald Trump blamed poor forest management by the state. One fire scientist explained that forest management (good or bad) had a minor influence on the severity of the fires, and that Woolsey was not a forest fire. The California Public Utilities Commission is investigating an equipment problem near the point of origin reported by Southern California Edison. (en)
  • 伍尔西大火（英語：Woolsey Fire）是一场发生在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶和文图拉县的毁灭性大火，山火以鄰近火源的伍尔西峡谷路命名。大火於2018年11月8日爆發，烧毁了39,234公顷土地，摧毁1643座建筑，造成3人死亡，超过29.5万人被疏散。这是同一天发生的几宗山火之一，11月16日当附近的山火被控制後，加州北山火便烧毁了天堂大部分地区。 大火首先焚燒位于洛杉矶和文图拉县边界附近的聖蘇珊娜野外實驗室（Santa Susana Field Laboratory）。圣塔安那风成為火場迅速擴大的元兇。伍爾西大火的第一天，強風将火势向南推进聖莫尼卡山。火灾发生时，圣费尔南多谷和Conejo谷之间的101号美国国道被封闭。 大火迅速焚毀灌木覆盖的陡峭峡谷，其後影響多位影視界名人的寓所。在马里布，太平洋沿岸公路两侧的数以百计房屋被毁坏或损坏，其中大部分是在山脈和太平洋之間的迪梅岬（Point Dume）。消防队成功保护佩珀代因大學以南的地帶，但马里布沿海西至索尔罗马社区（Solromar）的所有地方都被大火破坏。在文图拉高速公路沿线和马里布海岸沿线的成千上万居民被迫远离自己家园。由于大火持续威胁着房屋，且风力不斷增强使火势蔓延，疏散令使居民感到沮丧。 被疏散的居民逐渐被允许回家，以視察屋企有否被摧毁，而此時大火继续蔓延到圣莫尼卡山脉西端崎岖的荒野。 (zh)
