Canadian officials say the massive Fort McMurray fire in Alberta could be doubling in size. So far, the blaze has burned at least 385,000 acres and forced nearly 90,000 people to evacuate.
加拿大官員稱亞伯達麥克默里堡大火面積可能翻倍。到目前為止,大火已至少燒毀385,000英畝,并迫使近90,000人撤離。
Some of those evacuees had to move again from camps Saturday as wind and dry conditions helped the fire grow. At a media briefing, a firefighter spokesman said, "Unless we have a significant rain event of 100 millimeters of rain, we expect to be out fighting the fire in the forested area for months to come."
隨著大風和干燥的條件助長火勢,周六有些疏散人員不得不再次從營地搬離。在媒體發布會上,一名消防員發言人表示,“除非有100毫米的大降雨,我們預計森林地區的火災沒有數月撲滅不了。”
The Alberta government told press more than 500 firefighters, 15 helicopters and 14 air tankers have been deployed to help fight the fire.
阿爾伯塔政府告訴記者,500多名消防隊員、15架直升機和14架滅火飛機已經出動幫助滅火。
As the fire continues to move and grow, the government is looking ahead at rebuilding the area and helping the folks affected. The Canadian Red Cross has raised at least $44 million and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government will match any individual donations until May 31 without a cap.
隨著火勢的繼續移動和發展,政府正尋求重建該地區并幫助受影響的人。加拿大紅十字會已經籌集至少4,400萬美元,加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多表示,政府將匹配任何個人捐款,直到5月31日沒有上限。
So far, no deaths have been reported.
