澳大利亚官员说,一次例行军事演习导致了一场山火,目前有数十起山火肆虐澳大利亚最大的州,而这场山火的火势最大。
调查人员说,实弹军演中发生一次爆炸,引燃了悉尼以西城市利斯戈附近的一处丛林。这场山火蔓延范围为4万7千公顷,并烧毁了几所房屋。
山火附近的蓝山镇镇长格林希尔说,他希望能够进行一次透明的调查。
虽然天气转凉减轻了山火的威胁,但60多起山火仍在新南威尔士州燃烧,其中很多山火尚未得到控制。自上周末以来,山火已经毁掉2百多所民宅,并导致一人死亡。
Australian officials say a routine military drill is responsible for sparking one of the largest of the dozens of fires that have ravaged the country's most populous state.
Investigators say an explosion during a live-fire military exercise ignited bushland near the city of Lithgow, west of Sydney. The blaze has burned 47,000 hectares of land and destroyed several houses.
Mark Greenhill, the mayor of the nearby town of Blue Mountains, said he hopes to see a transparent investigation.
Though the danger has eased somewhat with the onset of cooler weather, more than 60 fires are still burning in New South Wales state, with many still raging out of control. Since late last week, the fires have destroyed over 200 homes and led to the death of one person.
