WIRES Emergency Response Team (ERT) has been working tirelessly to provide on-ground assistance to wildlife impacted by the Tambaroora bushfire, which has left a trail of destruction over 18,000 hectares in NSW's Central West. The team has been working closely with the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) to undertake a wildlife search and rescue operation in the fire-affected area of Tambaroora, south of Mudgee.

WIRES緊急対応チーム（ERT）は、ニューサウスウェールズ州中央西部の18,000ヘクタールに及ぶタンバローラ山火事の影響を受けている野生動物を現地で支援するため、精力的に活動しています。同チームは、ニューサウスウェールズ州の地方消防局（RFS）と緊密に連携し、マジー南部にあるタンバローラの火災被災地で野生動物の捜索・救助活動を行いました。

Due to the severity of the fire, WIRES ERT encountered numerous wallabies that had perished in the bushfire. However, they were heartened to find many reptiles and kangaroos that had survived the devastation. The team waited until the fire was extinguished before they were granted access inside the fire ground to search for wildlife.

火災の規模が大きかったため、WIRES ERTは山火事で死んだワラビーに多数遭遇しましたが、多くの爬虫類やカンガルーが焼け残ったのを発見し、胸をなでおろしました。チームは火災が鎮火するのを待ってから、火災現場内に入ることを許可されました。

WIRES Emergency Responders undertake Emergency Response training to prepare for emergency search and rescue, and work carefully under the direction of the RFS following all safety procedures. During the search, the team did several pouch checks of healthy Eastern Grey Kangaroos that had been disorientated and struck by cars trying to escape the fires.

WIRESの緊急対応員は緊急時の捜索や救助に備え、緊急対応訓練を受け、RFSの指示のもとすべての安全手順にしたがって慎重に作業を行います。捜索中チームは、火災から逃れようとして方向感覚を失い車にはねられた健康なイースタングレイカンガルーのポーチ（おなかの袋）チェックを何度も行いました。

Bushfires have a significant impact on wildlife populations, and the survival rate is regrettably low for many species in extreme fire events. The Tambaroora bushfire has been particularly devastating for the local wildlife, with many animals losing their lives or homes.

山火事は野生動物の個体数に大きな影響を及ぼし、極端な火災が発生した場合、多くの種の生存率は残念ながら低くなります。タンバローラの山火事は、特に地元の野生動物に大きな打撃を与え、多くの動物が命や住む場所を失いました。

WIRES Emergency Response Team are continuing to monitor and provide support to wildlife in this impacted area and continue to work closely with the RFS and organisations on the ground. Although the region witnessed some devastating wildlife losses, the team was thankful to locate and provide support to animals that had survived the fire event.

WIRESの緊急対応チームは、RFSや現地の組織と緊密に連携しながら、影響を受けた地域の野生動物の監視と支援を続けています。この地域では野生動物が壊滅的な被害を受けましたが、チームは火災を生き延びた動物を見つけ、支援を提供できたことに感謝しています。
