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，阿尔伯塔麦克默里堡镇发生大火，超8万民众被疏散。森林大火迅速蔓延，多数民众措手不及，急忙跳进车中躲避浓烟。据初步损失报告，超2400栋住宅被毁，一些社区住宅遭到全部焚毁。过去一周，消防人员成功挽救2.5万栋建筑，包括多家商店、以及所有学校和医院。大火还在蔓延，全市过火面积已超229公顷。因冷空气降临，风速减弱，大火没有蔓延至萨斯喀彻温省。
