A heat wave that brought this week record temperatures to Europe is reportedly the cause of a fire that started on Tuesday at a solar park owned by UK energy company Shell and located in Sas van Gent, in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

“For an unknown reason, the grass around the solar park caught fire,” the municipality's fire department said in a statement. “The dry grass and the strong wind contributed to increasing the fire, which burnt a large area.”

本周二，受欧洲极端高温天气影响，一处位于荷兰泽兰省，英国壳牌公司所有的光伏电站起火。

市消防局在一份声明中说：“光伏电站周围的草地着火了，起火原因未知。”。“干草和大风加剧了大火，大片区域被烧毁。”

According to Zealand's safety agency Zeeland Veilig, the fire brigade was able to control the fire, which hit an area of around 5,000 square meters, in around two hours. “The fire burnt the grass under the panels and the solar panels were not affected,” the agency said.

据新西兰安全机构Zeeland Veilig称，消防队在大约两个小时内控制住了这场面积约5000平方米的火灾。“大火烧毁了组件下面的草，但组件没有受到影响，”该机构称。
