八点最热报 | 受到异常高温天气、干燥与强风的影响，美国德克萨斯州从星期一开始，发生了多场大规模野火，在短短28小時內就烧毁了25万英畝的土地，相当于每秒就烧掉了整整两个足球场大小的土地。而根据美国林业局的数据指出，单单这次的野火，烧毁的土地就比德州去年所有火灾的总和还多，让这场火灾成为德州史上第二大规模的野火。（主播：萧慧敏）

00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:05 Due to the extreme high temperature, dry weather and strong wind,
00:08 there were many large-scale wildfires in Texas on Monday.
00:13 In just 28 hours, the fire burned 200,000 acres of land,
00:17 equivalent to burning two football fields per second.
00:22 According to the U.S. Forestry Bureau,
00:24 the second largest wildfire in Texas history
00:27 burned more land than all the tigers in Texas last year.
00:32 Some locals even described the fire as "a scene of hell."
00:38 Since the fire spread to areas of Texas that are densely populated,
00:41 at least one person has died.
00:43 Texas Governor Abbott issued a evacuation order
00:46 to evacuate the people.
00:48 Wildfires spread in the mountains,
00:51 burning smoke and smoke.
00:53 The sky turned red.
00:56 Texas has recently witnessed the second largest wildfire in history,
00:59 causing many local areas to be affected.
01:01 Wildfires spread along many roads,
01:04 causing many animals, such as cows and horses,
01:07 to run and flee on the road.
01:09 The Texas Emergency Management Office said
01:11 the heavy smoke has increased the difficulty of rescue,
01:14 so so far, wildfires have not been completely contained.
01:17 At the same time, he called on the public
01:19 not to return to the scene of the disaster
01:21 when the fire is slightly smaller,
01:23 because the fire may still spread.
01:25 I believe this fire will grow before it gets fully contained.
01:28 I don't want the community there to feel a false sense of security
01:32 that all of these fires will not grow anymore.
01:35 This is still a very dynamic situation.
01:37 By morning,
01:38 the fires in some areas of Texas had already been put out.
01:41 But whether it's cars, trees, or buildings,
01:44 they were all burned to ashes by the wildfires.
01:46 Some residents saw their homes that had been in the area for 50 years
01:49 turn into ruins in an instant.
01:51 When pets die, they can't help but be sad.
01:54 They regret that when they received the evacuation alert,
01:57 they didn't react immediately.
01:59 They started doing evacuation orders to evacuate and go to Higgins.
02:04 But we were clear here.
02:06 And when that happened, this happened.
02:08 It brought flames from the cemetery.
02:10 It brought that house caught on fire first,
02:12 and then it come across to us.
02:14 The rescue authorities predict that
02:16 high temperatures and strong winds will continue to appear in Texas in the next few days,
02:19 meaning that wildfires will become bigger and more dangerous.
