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.
加拿大官员称亚伯达麦克默里堡大火面积可能翻倍。到目前为止,大火已至少烧毁385,000英亩,并迫使近90,000人撤离。
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."
随着大风和干燥的条件助长火势,周六有些疏散人员不得不再次从营地搬离。在媒体发布会上,一名消防员发言人表示,“除非有100毫米的大降雨,我们预计森林地区的火灾没有数月扑灭不了。”
The Alberta government told press more than 500 firefighters, 15 helicopters and 14 air tankers have been deployed to help fight the fire.
阿尔伯塔政府告诉记者,500多名消防队员、15架直升机和14架灭火飞机已经出动帮助灭火。
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.
随着火势的继续移动和发展,政府正寻求重建该地区并帮助受影响的人。加拿大红十字会已经筹集至少4,400万美元,加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多表示,政府将匹配任何个人捐款,直到5月31日没有上限。
So far, no deaths have been reported.
