Thirty people were confirmed killed while fighting a forest fire that broke out on Saturday in the Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province, the Ministry of Emergency Management said in a statement on Monday.

4月1日,应急管理部发布消息称,3月30日四川省凉山彝族自治州境内发生森林火灾,已有30人在扑火行动中死亡。

By 6:30 pm on Monday, the bodies of the victims were all recovered, including 27 firefighters and three locals, said the ministry.
应急管理部称,4月1日18点30分, 所有遇难者遗体均已找到,包括27名消防队员和3名当地群众。

截至1日17时,木里森林火灾过火面积已达到15公顷左右(the fire has burned around 15 hectares of forest),火势尚未得到控制,扑灭存在较大困难。

据四川省应急管理厅副厅长周彤介绍,据初步掌握的情况,目前主要的扑救难点在于:

一是火场最高海拔约3700米,海拔高(high altitude),风大且方向不定,火势难控制;

二是木里当地地形复杂(complex terrain),尤其是雅砻江沿岸一带山高坡陡,很多地方没有路(lack of road access),给灭火和搜救工作带来很大困难;

三是当地森林腐殖层较厚(thick humus layer),火不易打熄;

四是山上取水非常困难(difficulty in getting water)。

根据专家初步分析,此次火灾很可能是由雷电引发的(the fire was possibly caused by thunder),在燃烧过程中可能还发生了“轰燃(flashover)”现象,其突发性导致部分灭火人员避难不及时。“轰燃”指在一限定空间内, 所有可燃物表面全部卷入燃烧的瞬变状态。
