Hundreds of houses have been destroyed by wildfires in Colorado, USA. What caused the fire accident? Let's discuss this problem below, hoping that these contents can help friends in need.

On Thursday night local time, senior local officials announced that 580 houses, a hotel restaurant and a shopping mall in Denver may have been damaged by the raging wildfire, and tens of thousands of people were evacuated by the fire. JoePelle, a policeman in Boulder County, said that only one person was injured at this stage, but more obvious casualties will be found after it is not cleared. Because the wind reached 65,438+005 mph (65,438+069 km/h), the compressive strength of the fire quickly swept through all areas.

Peller said that the first fire broke out before 10:30 in the morning, but it was quickly controlled and subsided later that day. It has been detected at this stage and has not caused any damage to the engineering building.

The second wildfire was reported after 1 1 in the morning. The fire spread 2.5 square meters (6.5 square kilometers), flooded some areas in the misty orange sky and made residents flee to safety.

The theme activity of night wind speed will determine when workers can go in and gradually evaluate the losses and find all the victims. "This is also a kind of fire accident that we can't face up to," Peller said. "In fact, in some areas, representatives and firefighters had to leave because they had just been swallowed up."

Louisville, with about 2 1000 households, was also ordered to evacuate after the residents of Superior with 13000 households were told to evacuate. These two adjacent urban areas are located about 20km (32km) northwest of Denver.

Several fires broke out in this area on Thursday. It is understood that at least some of them are caused by dropped cables. KelliChristensen, a spokesman, said that six people injured in the fire accident had been treated at UCHealthBroomfield Hospital. Expressway, No.36 in the United States, was partially closed due to a fire accident.

FrontRange, where most of Colorado's population lives, has experienced an extremely dry and mild autumn, and so far, the winter has remained basically dry. However, it is expected to snow in this area on Friday.

The short video that some netizens enjoyed on the Internet showed a scene of the end of the world-wild flowers and trees in the underground parking lot were blown down by strong winds, surrounded by a gray sky, a looming sun and slow fires scattered on the ground.

LeahAngstman and her husband saw a similar dark sky when they returned home from Denver International Airport to Louisville after going out for a holiday. When they were sitting at the bus stop to Boulder, Hansmann recalled that they left the blue sky and white clouds in Wan Li in an instant and entered the clouds of zongzi and pale yellow smoke.

Visibility was low, so the bus had to stop at the side of the road. They waited for half an hour until a minivan from the regional transportation bureau escorted them to the corner of the road. Angusman said that there, she saw four separate fires burning in a tree directly opposite expressway.

"The sky is dark red and the sand is crying like a snake on the crosswalk," she said. Angusman finally evacuated. She and her husband got into a car and drove back to the northeast, but it was not clear where they would eventually go.

VigneshKasinath, a tenured professor of cell biology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, evacuated from a community in Superior with his wife and parents. Cassinat showed that due to the sudden fire evacuation alarm, the family was at a loss and felt uneasy when trying to leave. "It's only because I'm still active on Twitter that I understand this," he said, adding that he didn't receive a notice from the government announcing the fire evacuation.

The fire also prompted Mayor JaredPolis to declare a state of emergency and allow the state to obtain disaster emergency assets. Experts say that the evacuation is because the temperature is becoming more and more extreme due to climate problems, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive. Drought and high temperature in the historical process make it more difficult to put out wildfires in the midwest of the United States.
