The California mountain fire that has been burning for ten days is still raging, and the number of people killed and the number of missing people have risen. US President Trump went to California to inspect the disaster, and local residents protested. "Is it really our fault?"
According to ABC News on the 18th, the California Forestry and Fire Department said that the current mountain fire has killed 79 people and more than 1,300 people are missing. Officials said that 63 of the victims have been identified.
On the 17th, US President Trump went to California to inspect the disaster and accompanied the retiring governor Jerry Brown and the new governor, Gavin Newsom, who had just won the midterm election. Trump promised to strengthen mountain management to reduce the risk of future mountain fires.
“We have to strengthen management and maintenance,” Trump said. “We can’t let this kind of disaster happen again, so the work has to be accelerated. There are already a lot of people (involved in), and in the past, a lot Research is also going on. I hope this is the last disaster, this time the fire is too serious."

Previously, Trump had tweeted accusations of poor forest management in California. "California has no reason to have such a large-scale, deadly and costly forest fire unless forest management is very bad." He asked the local government to remedy it in time, otherwise the federal government would stop funding.
The Associated Press said that the local residents’ protests during Trump’s inspection seemed to be a response to his previous tweet.

According to the ABC report, on Friday (16th), the number of missing persons in Butte County, northern California, was 1,011, and it rose to 1,276 on Saturday. County Sheriff Kory Honea said the data will continue to change as the investigation continues.
The fire was the most destructive and deadly mountain fire in California's history. The first stop of the Trump disaster inspection was the hard-hit area of Camp Fire, the paradise town of Bouyute County, Northern California. It’s really “complete destruction,” Trump said. “We’ve never seen such a thing happening in California.”

Later, Trump went to the coastal city of Malibu, near Los Angeles, in Southern California, where it was devastated by Woolsey Fire.
According to the California Forestry and Fire Department, as of the evening of the 17th, the “Kamp Mountain Fire” in Northern California had over 60 square kilometers of fire, and about 13,000 buildings were destroyed. Currently, 55% of the fire has been controlled.
"This is by far the most deadly fire in California's history, and unfortunately, it is getting worse," said Thom Porter, director of strategic planning for the California Forestry and Fire Department. "Kamp Hill Fire" said that the death toll is expected to rise.
Heaven County was almost burned to the ground by the "Kamp Mountain Fire", and most of the victims of the mountain fire died in the county. Porter said, "Now, the entire paradise county has become a poisonous wasteland."

The California Forestry and Fire Department also said that Southern California's Woolsey Mountain Fire has an area of 398 square kilometers and more than 900 buildings have been destroyed. 82% of the fire has been controlled.
According to the report, the buildings burned by the "Wolsey Mountain Fire" include many Hollywood movie sets.

At present, the smoke from mountain fires has caused serious pollution of air in many parts of California, causing the local air quality to drop rapidly to a “very unhealthy” level.

The San Francisco Department of Transportation posted a statement on the website saying that the impact of forest fires and local climates has caused San Francisco's air quality index to escalate from a red "unhealthy" level to a purple "very unhealthy" level.
Officials suggested that residents in the disaster area should stay indoors to avoid exposure to outdoor air. If they go out, they need to wear protective masks.
At the same time, a spokesperson for the Bout County Public Health Department said that some of the victims had a Norwalk virus infection. Norwalk virus is highly contagious, and the main symptoms of the patient are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and body aches.

此前,特朗普曾发推特指责加州森林管理不善。“加利福尼亚没有理由发生这种大规模的、致命的和损失惨重的森林大火,除非森林管理非常糟糕。”他要求当地政府及时补救,否则联邦政府会停止拨款。
美联社称,当地居民在特朗普视察期间举牌抗议,似乎是对他此前这条推特的回应。

据美国广播公司报道,周五(16日),加州北部布特县(Butte County)统计失踪人数为1011人,周六上升至1276人。该县警长科里•霍尼亚(Kory Honea)称,随着调查的不断进行,这些数据将会不断变动。
这次火灾是加州历史上破坏力最强、死伤最严重的山火。特朗普灾情视察的第一站是“坎普山火”(Camp Fire)重灾区——北加州布尤特县的天堂镇。真是“彻底的破坏”,特朗普说,“我们从没见过加州发生这样的事情。”

随后,特朗普又去了南加州洛杉矶附近的海滨城市马里布(Malibu),这里遭到了“伍尔西山火”(Woolsey Fire)的连日摧残。
加州林业和消防部门称,截至17日晚,北加州的“坎普山火”过火面积已经超过600平方公里,约1.3万栋建筑被毁,目前55%的火势已经得到控制。
“这是到目前为止,加州历史上最致命的一场火灾,非常不幸的是,它正变得更加糟糕,” 加州林业和消防部门的战略规划主管汤姆•波特(Thom Porter)谈到“坎普山火”时称,预计死亡人数还会上升。
天堂县几乎被“坎普山火”烧成平地,大部分山火遇难者都死于该县。波特称“现在,整个天堂县都变成了有毒的荒地。”
“坎普山火”一度形成了“火龙卷”现象
火势凶猛,当地居民正驾车逃离
加州林业和消防部门同时表示,南加州的“伍尔西山火”过火面积398平方公里,900多栋建筑物被毁,已有82%的火势得到控制。
报道称,被“伍尔西山火”烧毁的建筑物中包括很多好莱坞的电影布景。

目前,山火产生的浓烟造成加州多个地区的空气严重受污染,导致当地空气质量急速下降至“非常不健康”水平。

旧金山交通局在网站发布声明说,林火和当地气候的影响导致旧金山的空气质量指数从红色的“不健康”水平,升级为紫色的“非常不健康”水平。
官员们建议灾区居民最好待在室内,避免暴露于室外空气,若外出需戴上防护面具。
与此同时,布特县公共健康部门发言人说,一些灾民安置点出现诺瓦克病毒感染。诺瓦克病毒传染性强,患者主要症状为恶心、呕吐、腹泻、身体疼痛。
