We begin though in Colorado where crews had a good day,

but still very far from containing the largest wild fires ever seen in the state.

但仍然無法和這個州曾見過的最大野生大火無法相提并論。

High temps, high wind not helping and there are houses,

大火帶來了高溫度,但強風沒有阻礙火勢，而這里有很多房子,

about 400 of them now in ashes.

大約有400所已經(jīng)變成灰燼。

Worse, each of these serves as a kind of tinderbox catching sparks then fueling the flames onward and those flames move fast.

而更糟的是,其中每間房子都是作為一種易燃物帶來火花然后為火焰助力,而后推動火焰向前很快移動。

Watch this footage from British Colombia.

來看看這個來自英國哥倫比亞的景象。

It is an amazing perspective .

這是一個非常棒的景象。

One, frankly, you're not supposed to see and still live.

First, the latest on this fire right now from Martin Savidge who joins us live from Colorado Springs.

首先,關(guān)于這場大火的最新情況讓我們連線科羅拉多斯普林斯的馬丁·薩維奇。

Martin.

馬丁，情況如何。

Evening, John.

晚上好,約翰。

Yes, we are standing outside of the incident command center.

是的,我們正位于事故指揮中心的外面。

This is essentially where they have been calling the shots on this historic fire for the last three days and for most of that time,

本質(zhì)上在過去3天及大部分時間里他們一直掌控這一歷史性的大火的情勢,

the news has not been good.

而最近的消息一直不大好。

But today, finally, finally, there is at least a glimmer of hope and a lot of that has to do with the fact, well, of the weather.

但今天,終于,終于,至少還有一線希望而且很多事實與，嗯,天氣相關(guān)。

And the weather had been the problem for so long, now suddenly, the weather has turned out to be actually a pretty good thing today.

而天氣問題長久以來都是問題,而現(xiàn)在突然, 今天的天氣竟然相當好。

There was cloud cover overhead.

頭頂有云覆蓋。

That's how it started off.

這就是它如何開始。

That's good for a number of reasons.

這樣的好天氣是有許多原因的。

It drops the humidity levels, actually raises those, drops the temperature and the wind.

它會降低濕度級別,實際上提升那些,降低溫度和風力。

The wind has subsided somewhat.

風已經(jīng)稍微平息。

That was best of all and then late this afternoon, the skies opened up.

那是最好的,然后是今天下午晚些時候,天空放晴。

Now we should tell you that when you get rain like this,

現(xiàn)在我們應(yīng)該告訴你的是,當你有了這樣情況下的降雨,

it is a good thing as far as helping to douse some of the hot spots.

只要幫助驅(qū)散一些很熱的地點就會變成好事，

But the problem is, it brought a lot of lightning and that is a huge problem in this area.

但問題是,伴隨它的有很多閃電,這在這個地區(qū)是很大的問題。

Because even though the ground has been dampened, much of the brush is tinder dry.

因為即使地面已經(jīng)被抑制,大部分地區(qū)仍然非常干燥。

And so, even once the rain has passed by,

所以,即使真的降雨，

it means that that fuel is eventually going to dry out pretty quick here, John.

也意味著,易燃物最終要很快在這里干燥,約翰。
