Planes dropped fire retardant over the Texas Panhandle on Sunday and a small community was ordered to evacuate as firefighters kept up efforts to stamp out the largest wildfire in state history while contending with new blazes.
周日，飞机在得克萨斯州狭长地带上空投放了阻燃剂，一个小社区被命令疏散，因为消防员在与新的大火作斗争的同时，继续努力扑灭该州历史上最大的野火。
Strong winds spread the flames further, prompting an evacuation order to be issued in Sanford, a town of a little more than 100 residents, according to the Amarillo office of the National Weather Service, which posted on X. A cluster of fires has burned more than 1,900 square miles (4,900 square kilometers) in rural areas surrounding Amarillo, including the largest blaze spilling into neighboring Oklahoma.
据美国国家气象局阿马里洛办公室在X上发布的消息，强风进一步蔓延了火焰，促使桑福德镇发布了疏散令。桑福德镇有100多名居民。阿马里洛周围的农村地区发生了一系列大火，烧毁了1900多平方英里(4900平方公里)，其中最大的一场大火蔓延到了邻近的俄克拉荷马州。

哈钦森县联合之路的执行主任朱莉·温特斯(Julie Winters)表示， 该组织已经了解到该县预计有 150 多座房屋受到影响， 且大火至少蔓延到其他五个县。
"We already know that a large group of people are uninsured who lost their homes. So without monetary assistance, it's going to be very hard for them to start back over," Winters said.
“我们已经了解到，有一大群人失去了家园且没有保险。 因此，没有金钱援助，他们将很难重新开始，”温特斯说。
