Bald Range wildfire lumaki, pagbisita ni Eby at pagkakabawi sa Cultus Lake — Vancouver Miyerkules

19 artikulo 2 linggo ang nakalipas 171

🚑 Pagbabago at Insidente

  1. Lumaki ang Bald Range wildfire sa 18,450 hektarya habang nagbabala ang mga crew tungkol sa hangin at posibilidad ng kulog-pag-ulan. Sinabi ng Regional District of Okanagan‑Similkameen EOC noong Miyerkules na walang pagbabago sa mga kautusan ng paglikas at nananatiling sarado ang Highway 97; ang mga pansamantalang permit para sa pagpasok ay ibinibigay nang paisa-isa. Nagbabala ang BC Wildfire Service na maaaring tumaas ang kilos ng apoy dahil sa hangin at posibleng kulog-pag-ulan, at nagpapatuloy ang Rapid Damage Assessments kung saan ligtas.

  2. Pinagbawalan ang tagapagligtas ng hayop na si Kazimir Nowlin mula sa pagpapatuloy ng paglikas ng mga alagang hayop sa Summerland dahil sa paglabag sa mga patakaran. Inililipat ni Nowlin ang mga kabayo at iba pang hayop mula sa Bald Range evacuation zone mula pa noong Biyernes ngunit sinabihan siya noong Martes ng gabi na hindi na siya maaaring magtrabaho kasama ang ALERT matapos umanong lumabag sa mga patakaran, kabilang ang pagta-film sa mga hayop; sinabi ng rancher na si Carolyn Dobler na iniluwas ni Nowlin ang kanyang mga hayop at dinala sa Oliver at OK Falls.

  3. Makapal na usok ang bumalot sa mga lambak ng Penticton at nakatulong na mapabagal ang pagkalat ng apoy ngunit nagpababa ng kalidad ng hangin. Sinabi ni Cliff Chapman, tagapagsalita ng BC Wildfire Service, na nilimitahan ng usok ang pagkalat ng apoy sa pagbawas ng malinis na oxygen, ngunit binanggit din na humigit-kumulang 100 na sunog ang nag-aalab sa buong B.C., halos kalahati ang wala sa kontrol, at ang paglilinis ng usok ay maaaring magpataas ng panganib ng muling paglaganap ng apoy.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Nabawi ang bangkay ng 13-taong-gulang na babae mula sa Cultus Lake, kinumpirma ng RCMP. Inanunsyo ng RCMP ang pagkakabawi ng katawan ng batang babae sa Cultus Lake; hindi pa naglalabas ang mga imbestigador ng karagdagang detalye tungkol sa sanhi o pagkakakilanlan habang isinasagawa ang imbestigasyon.

  2. Nakipag-partner ang RCMP sa isang helicopter service para tutukan ang mga mapanganib na driver sa Nanaimo. Inanunsyo ng RCMP ang pakikipagsosyo sa isang aerial helicopter service upang higpitan ang pagpapatupad laban sa mapanganib na pagmamaneho sa mga kalsada ng Nanaimo; ipinapares ng programa ang mga ground units at aerial observation para sa target na mga patrol.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Bumisita si Premier David Eby sa mga wildfire zone sa Interior, nagpaabot ng pakikiramay at pinasalamatan ang mga boluntaryo. Bumisita si Eby sa Penticton noong Miyerkules, nakipagkita sa mga boluntaryo sa isang reception centre, kinilala ang isang pagkamatay sa Meadow Valley, at sinabi na na-overrun ang wildfire modelling kaya napilitan ang mga crew na mag-shift mula sa initial attack tungo sa mga evacuation operations.

  2. Pansamantalang binawi ng B.C. ang protection order para sa Salmon River watershed. Inanunsyo ng probinsya ang pansamantalang pagtanggal ng watershed protection order para sa Salmon River; binabago ng desisyon ang dating status ng proteksyon habang nire-review ng gobyerno ang susunod na mga hakbang.

  3. Muli nagkaroon ng malaking pagkawala ng internet sa Northwest B.C., ikatlo sa loob ng ilang buwan. Nag-ulat ang mga provider ng isa pang malaking outage na nakaapekto sa mga komunidad sa northwest; ito ang ikatlong makabuluhang regional disruption sa nakalipas na mga buwan, na nagpapalala sa mga alalahanin sa pagiging maaasahan ng serbisyo para sa mga residente at negosyo.

  4. Isasara ang nag-iisang public pool ng Victoria sa Setyembre; may planong buksan ang kapalit sa susunod na taon. Inanunsyo ng mga opisyal na isasara ang city pool sa Setyembre at may alternatibong pasilidad na naka-iskedyul na magbukas sa kasunod na taon, na maaapektuhan ang access sa pampublikong paglangoy sa Victoria.
