This article focuses on anthropogenic fire as a form of disturbance that is having an unusually strong influence on landscapes in the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. One series of significant disturbance incidents was the Blue Ridge Complex, which was a dense cluster of wildfires that occurred during the fall of 2016. This article contains ethnographic information that I collected when the Blue Ridge Complex fires were burning and thereafter through the use of participant observation at community gatherings, land management events, and recreational activities. I have also conducted one-on-one interviews with residents of the fire-affected region, land managers, and firefighters. In community gatherings and in conversations with others, people living in the Blue Ridge Complex zone produced a collective ethical assemblage for living in a burning and burned landscape. The spatial and temporal patterns of burning in the fall of 2016 were so distinct from previous years that they may have redefined the Blue Ridge bioregion’s fire regimes. The proliferation of wildfires during the fall of 2016 also generated occasions for people to formulate their values related to one another, to their nonhuman co-residents, to fire, and to the overall mountainous landscape.

蓝岭山脉新兴环境伦理与新型火灾制度的融合

本文重点介绍人为火灾，这是骚扰的一种形式，对南阿巴拉契亚山脉的蓝岭地理省的景观产生了异常强烈的影响。一系列严重的骚扰事件是Blue Ridge Complex，这是一团密集的野火，发生在2016年秋天。本文包含了在Blue Ridge Complex火灾燃烧时以及随后通过使用参与者收集的人种学信息在社区聚会，土地管理活动和娱乐活动中进行观察。我还对受灾地区的居民，土地管理人员和消防员进行了一对一的采访。在社区聚会和与他人的对话中，居住在Blue Ridge Complex地区的人们为居住在熊熊燃烧的风景中产生了集体的道德聚集。2016年秋季的时空燃烧模式与往年截然不同，以至于它们可能重新定义了蓝岭生物区的火灾状况。2016年秋季野火的蔓延也为人们提供了表达彼此，与非人类共同居住者，火灾以及整个山区景观有关的价值观的机会。
