疏散者和消防员敦促加拿大在创纪录的野火发生后更新消防基金。 Evacuees and firefighters urge Canada to renew firefighting funds after record wildfires.

一个野火疏散人员、消防员和土著监护人代表团正在敦促加拿大联邦政府恢复已经过期的消防资金,并警告说,2022年的3亿美元设备认捐和3 900万美元的培训方案的结束使社区变得脆弱。 A delegation of wildfire evacuees, firefighters, and Indigenous guardians is urging the Canadian federal government to restore expired firefighting funding, warning that the end of a $300 million 2022 pledge for equipment and a $39 million training program has left communities vulnerable. 今年的野火季节是记录上最糟糕的季节之一,它烧毁了近900万公顷(比新不伦瑞克和爱德华王子岛加起来还要大),是10年平均数的两倍多。 This year’s wildfire season, one of the worst on record, burned nearly 9 million hectares—larger than New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined—more than double the 10-year average. 由于没有接受新的申请,该小组正与议员举行会议,倡导在应急准备和清洁能源方面进行新的投资,以应对气候驱动的火灾风险。 With no new applications being accepted, the group is meeting with MPs to advocate for renewed investments in emergency preparedness and clean energy to address climate-driven fire risks.
