Kebakaran hutan di Kanada merebak ke bandar, 7,000 penduduk dipindahkan

17/05/2011 



OTTAWA 17 Mei - Kira-kira 7,000 penduduk terpaksa dipindahkan selepas kebakaran hutan merebak ke bandar Slave Lake di barat Kanada, di awal musim kebakaran hutan, kata pihak berkuasa semalam.
Dua kebakaran telah memusnahkan 2,900 hektar hutan berhampiran sebelum merebak ke bandar ini dan turut mengancam tiga bandar yang lain.
"Tiada amaran dikeluarkan terhadap kebakaran yang merebak dengan pantas.
"Berkemungkinan tiupan angin menyebabkan api menyeberangi lebuh raya dengan pantas ke bandar," kata Datuk Bandar Slave Lake, Karine Pillay-Kinee kepada CBC.
Banyak rumah dan bangunan telah musnah dan siaran televisyen menunjukkan 1,000 anggota bomba berusaha keras untuk memadamkan api yang sedang marak membakar sebaris bangunan, sebagai usaha menyelamatkan saki baki bandar yang terletak di 250 kilometer utara Edmonton, Alberta. - AFP

SLAVE LAKE, Alta. - Thousands of people were fleeing their homes 
Sunday evening as strong winds fanned an out-of-control wildfire 
into a northern Alberta town where hundreds of buildings were 
destroyed and many roads to safety were blocked.
The Town of Slave Lake advised the community of about 7,000 people 
to protect themselves from the wildfire by heading for parking lots, 
or large, green open spaces.A general evacuation was underway.
"The town is on fire. Apparently there have been a lot of homes 
that have burned down," said RCMP spokeswoman Doris Stapleton.
"There's been no loss of life. There's been no injuries we're aware of," 
she added.
Authorities warned residents to not try to flee on the highways 
since they were closed.
Stapleton said the RCMP have called in all available resources to 
assist in getting people out.
Staff-Sergeant Mike Proctor of Slave Lake RCMP said later "probably 
30 per cent of the structures" had been destroyed by the fire.
He said when the fire hit the town, it was nine square kilometres in size.
Although Proctor said two roads leading out of Slave Lake are closed, 
residents can get out through the road leading to Athabasca.
He said the mandatory evacuation was proceeding "as smoothly 
as it can go."
Local radio station 92.7 Lake FM reported on its website that its 
studio in Slave Lake, as well as the city hall and hundreds of 
buildings had been lost to the flames.
Duncan MacDonnell, a spokesperson for Alberta Sustainable 
Resource Development, said firefighting aircraft cannot fly over 
Slave Lake because there are wind gusts of up to 100 km/h 
and the smoke is too thick.

Smoke covers an otherwise perfectly sunny day on May 15, 2011, in Slave Lake, as the town's residents begin evacuation due to wildfires.
Thousands of people who had to flee their northern Alberta community, as a wind-whipped wildfire crackled through their town, are waiting to hear if their homes are still standing.
