2025年一场野火导致该地数月停电，曼尼托巴一个原住民民族因政府不作为购买了价值800万美元的备用发电机。 After a 2025 wildfire left it without power for months, a Manitoba First Nation bought its own $8 million backup generator due to government inaction.

马尼托巴省西北部的Mathias Colomb Cree部落在2025年野火疏散期间失去电力近四个月后购买了价值800万美元的紧急备用发电机系统,造成2,000多名居民流离失所。 The Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in northwestern Manitoba has purchased an $8-million emergency backup generator system after being without power for nearly four months during a 2025 wildfire evacuation, displacing over 2,000 residents. 社区表示，省级和联邦政府以及曼尼托巴水电公司多次请求临时发电机均未获满足，迫使其私下获得资金支持。 The community says repeated requests for temporary generators from provincial and federal governments and Manitoba Hydro went unmet, forcing it to secure funding privately. 马尼托巴省Hydro指出,后勤挑战,包括野火和进出受限,是危机期间部署发电机的障碍,并说它不资助客户拥有的一代。 Manitoba Hydro cited logistical challenges, including wildfires and limited access, as barriers to deploying generators during the crisis and stated it does not fund customer-owned generation. 第一民族现在敦促该省将该系统与电网连接起来,强调在火季恶化的情况下需要能源安全。 The First Nation now urges the province to connect the system to the grid, emphasizing the need for energy security amid worsening fire seasons.
