2,400 Homes Burn in Canadian Wildfire
A wildfire ripped through Fort McMurray, Alberta last week, resulting in a mandatory evacuation of over 80,000 residents. The forest fire spread so quickly that most residents didn’t have time to do more than jump in their vehicles and flee the smoke and flames. According to early damage reports, the fire has destroyed over 2,400 homes, including almost all of the homes in a few communities. In the past week, firefighters have been able to save 25,000 structures, including many businesses and all of the city’s schools and hospitals. The wildfire is still burning and has spread over 229 hectares. Cooler weather and calmer winds have prevented the fire from reaching the Saskatchewan border.
上周，阿爾伯塔麥克默里堡鎮發生大火，超8萬民眾被疏散。森林大火迅速蔓延，多數民眾措手不及，急忙跳進車中躲避濃煙。據初步損失報告，超2400棟住宅被毀，一些社區住宅遭到全部焚毀。過去一周，消防人員成功挽救2.5萬棟建筑，包括多家商店、以及所有學校和醫院。大火還在蔓延，全市過火面積已超229公頃。因冷空氣降臨，風速減弱，大火沒有蔓延至薩斯喀徹溫省。
