Ukusuka kwesomiso esibi kakhulu kuye ekubhujisweni okungakaze kube khona ngaphambili: inkinga yomlilo eBritish Columbia

Unyaka wezi-2023 uphawula irekhodi elidabukisayo le-British Columbia (BC): inkathi yomlilo wehlathi ecekela phansi kakhulu eyake yaqoshwa, ngokusho kwedatha enikezwe i I-BC Wildfire Service (BCWS).

Kusukela mhla lu-1 kuMbasa, sekushiswe isamba esingamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-13,986, okudlula irekhodi lonyaka langaphambilini elabekwa ngo-2018, lapho amakhilomitha-skwele ayi-13,543 acekelwa phansi. Nenkathi yokusha kwamahlathi esifundazweni isaqhubeka.

Kusukela ngomhlaka-17 Julayi, kunemililo esebenzayo engaphezu kuka-390 kulo lonke elase-British Columbia, okuhlanganisa nama-20 athathwa 'njengobalulekile' - okungukuthi, leyo mililo ebeka engcupheni ukuphepha komphakathi.

Ukushuba kwalesi sikhathi sokusha kwehlathi kuye kwabhengezwa izimo zesomiso ezinzima. 'IBritish Columbia ibhekene nenkinga yesomiso kanye nezimo ezingakaze zibonwe esifundazweni sonke,' kuqinisekisa uhulumeni wesifundazwe esitatimendeni.

Amazinga esomiso e-BC akalwa ngesilinganiso sika-0 kuya ku-5, lapho Izinga lesi-5 lesomiso libonisa ukuqina okuphezulu kakhulu. Uhulumeni wesifundazwe wengeza ngokuthi: “Kusukela mhla ziyi-13 kuNtulikazi, izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zezindawo zamanzi zaseBC zazisezingeni Lesomiso lesi-4 noma lesi-5.”

Usizo oluvela esibhakabhakeni

Bridger Aerospace wathumela eziyisithupha I-CL-415 Super Scoopers kanye ne-PC-12 eyodwa eya eCanada ukuyosekela imizamo yokucisha umlilo ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Naphezu kwemizamo, inhlanganisela yokushisa okukhulu, isomiso kanye nomoya onamandla kwadala izimo ezivumayo zokuthi imililo isakaze ngokushesha.

Ubukhulu nokuqina kwemililo yalo nyaka kuhlola imikhawulo yezinsiza ezikhona. Amaqembu abatakuli asebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuze anqande isimo, kodwa inani nezinga lemililo kudala izinkinga ezinkulu zokuhlela.

Ngaphezu kokulimala kwemvelo, ukushiswa kwehlathi kube nomthelela omkhulu emiphakathini yendawo. Izakhamuzi eziningi kuye kwadingeka ukuba ziphume ezindlini zazo, futhi imisebenzi yezomnotho, njengezokuvakasha nezolimo, iye yathinteka kabi.

Lesi sikhathi somlilo wehlathi sigqamisa ukubaluleka kokuthatha izinyathelo ezisebenza ngempumelelo zokuvimbela umlilo kanye nokulawula. Izifundo ezitholwe kulo nyaka zizosebenza ekuqondiseni izinqubomgomo zesikhathi esizayo zokulawula umlilo kanye nokunciphisa imithelela yesikhathi esizayo.

Ucingo lokuvuka

Kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi kuphuthuma kangakanani ukubhekana nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokuvumelanisa imiphakathi yethu nezinhlelo ukuze zisabele kangcono kulezi zinselele ezikhulayo. Ngenhlanganisela efanele yenqubomgomo, ukusungula izinto ezintsha kanye nokubambisana, singathemba ukuvimbela izinkathi zomlilo wamahlathi ezicekela phansi esikhathini esizayo.
