美国目前正在遭受着一场严重的的山林火灾。以下是华盛顿州 Malden 镇的火灾情况……

When Brett Myers drove into the town of Malden, Washington, a couple days ago, there were more houses on fire than not.
Smoke to where you can't see in front of you, fire encroaching right on the road, houses that when you drove by, the inside of your vehicle would heat up 30 or 50 degrees just instantly - the intensity of that fire was pretty close to a war zone.
Malden is a small town in the eastern part of the state. Myers is the county sheriff there. And on Labor Day, the ground was dry, winds close to 50 miles an hour.
They still don't know how exactly the fire started or where it came from. But in a matter of hours, Myers says, about 80% of the town was gone.

几天前，当 Brett Myers 开车进入华盛顿州 Malden 镇时，着火的房屋比没有着火的多。
烟雾弥漫到你看不见前方，火势蔓延到路上房子上，以至于当你开车经过时，你的车内温度会迅速升至30度或50度，大火的强度几乎接近战场。
Malden 是该州东部的一个小镇。Myers 是那里的县长。劳动节那天，地面是干的，风速接近每小时50英里。
他们仍然不知道火是怎么引起的，也不知道它从哪里来。但是，Myers说，也就是几个小时，镇里大约 80% 的房子就烧没了。
