中新网9月11日电 据澳大利亚广播公司当地时间10日报道，澳大利亚北领地偏远的巴克利地区发生林火，目前过火面积已经超过9300平方公里，北领地应急部门正在试图控制该火势。

According to reports, the fire occurred on the Barkley Plateau east of Tennant Creek, about 500 kilometers north of Alice Springs. A local firefighter stated that the fire was located between the Epenela and Barkley highways, with an area of approximately three to four times that of the capital region. The firefighter claimed that the fire was the largest he had ever dealt with in the area.

据报道，此次火灾发生在滕南特克里克以东的巴克利高原上，位于爱丽斯泉以北约500公里处。当地一名消防员表示，大火位于埃佩内拉和巴克利高速公路之间，“过火面积约为首都地区的三到四倍”。该消防员称此次大火是迄今为止他在当地应对的最大一场火灾。

According to the report, the emergency department in Northern Territory is mobilizing firefighters and firefighting planes to try to control the fire and warn against unnecessary travel to the Barkley area.

报道称，北领地应急部门正在调集消防人员和灭火飞机试图控制火势，并警告不要前往巴克利地区进行非必要的旅行。

At present, the fire has not yet threatened the property of local residents. Several regions in Northern Territory have issued fire bans, and the transportation department has announced that it will decide whether to close the highways in the Barkley area based on the severity of the fire.

目前大火尚未威胁到当地居民的财产。北领地多个地区颁布了禁火令，交通部门宣布将根据火势决定是否关闭巴克利地区的高速公路。
