去年七月一个温暖的下午,当普鲁马斯县冒出火苗时,根本没人会想到这场火将演变成一场巨大的灾难。一棵倾倒的树、一条断了的电线保险丝和小小的一圈火,带来了加州史上的第二大野火。一股毁灭性的力量在大火开始之后的几天到几个星期里,一个接一个的不祥预兆陆续出现——包括大火产生了闪电、火势跨越内华达山脉,最恐怖的是把格林维尔镇整个吞噬了。
When the Dixie fire sparked in Plumas County on a warm afternoon[last]July,few could have known that it would morph into the monster it soon became.A downed tree,a blown power line fuse and a small ring of fire were all it took to create the second-largest wildfire in California history.
