隨著Lytton山火進一步擴大,當局已經下令要求居民全部疏散。
今天早上最新消息,當地的國會議員表示山火已經將Lytton小鎮9成都燒毀

6月30日晚Lytton小鎮被森林大火吞噬,全鎮250名居民被迫連夜疏散逃離,許多人逃離太倉促,連重要細軟都沒來得及收拾。
市長Jan Polderman於當天下午發出疏散警示,要求所有居民立即離開區域並前往安全地方。

Jan Polderman透露,從發現首個濃煙後15分鍾內,小鎮整個被火海包圍,火勢來得太快。

Lytton連續三日打破全國高溫紀錄,周二錄得49.6度,全球媒體紛紛報道。
Jan Polderman說當天下午火牆有3、4英尺高,他開車穿過小鎮時,只見到處濃煙滾滾,火勢沖天,電線都被燒垮。

從小鎮居民逃離過程中拍攝的現場視頻顯示,小鎮四周無數建築物著火。

自6月29日報告49.6攝氏度的高溫歷史紀錄後,加拿大BC省小鎮Lytton於30日當天突發野火,僅15分鍾左右就使這個約250多人的小鎮一片火海,鎮民們不得不被迫全員出逃。

網友發推說,整個城鎮在極短的時間內撤離,人們在房屋著火時爭先恐後地抓住寵物。 到目前為止,我聽到20多個房屋被燒毀。。。

由於大火迅速蔓延,整個小鎮都在燃燒,只用了大概15分鍾,火災就蔓延全鎮,太恐怖了

我們可憐的小鎮消失了。 大火迅速穿過橋,沿著利盧埃特高速公路向上移動,我們的幾個保護區和學校都位於那裡。
利頓的居民“正朝著任何可能的方向逃離”。

Our poor little town of Lytton is gone. And the fire moved so quickly across the bridge and up the Lillooet Highway where several of our reserves and the school is located. http://t.co/PtTmKboBHy pic.twitter.com/9JzZIUgeLc
Jan polderman表示,他告訴居民們去南邊的Boston Bar,他自己也在正在去那裡的路上。
此外東部的梅裡特(Merritt)已經設立了一個收容中心
Another centre has been set up in #Merritt, which has emergency accommodation and support. One man I just spoke to, who was driving through #Lytton when fire broke out says “A lot of people hadn’t even spoken to their wives or husbands. They don’t know what happened to them.” pic.twitter.com/uepLnX3v7w

而北部的利盧埃特(Lillooet)也接收了部分小鎮居民。

利頓一所學校的負責人Edith Loring-Kuhanga同大約100名居民正逃往利盧埃特,她稱,這簡直是難以置信,無法理解,我們整個鎮都不見了!

— Jennifer Lloyd (@JEVLloyd) July 1, 2021
Edith提到,火災第一次通報時,她被要求在學校設立一個集合站,但很快得到的消息是不能繼續留下來。
她和其他人離開了小鎮,沒有帶走任何家畜、寵物或相冊這樣的珍貴物品。

目前,因大火緣故,利頓北部、南部公路已被陸續關閉。想回去的人也暫時回不去。
氣像專家都驚呼,從未見過如此嚴重山火,未來一周內估計這種情況還會持續。
省消防部門出動56名消防人員到現場滅火,還派出10架直升機和2台重型設備滅火,有些直升機因引擎過熱無法工作。
火勢規模和原因,目前還不清楚,省山火服務管理局已從其他地區調遣人員到當地緊急支援,BC省長承諾重建。

氣像專家透露,當天風速高達71公裡,下午7點火勢就趁風勢席卷Lytton小鎮,高溫幹燥和大風天氣,使得火勢能以10公裡甚至20公裡的時速推進。
據了解,自本月6月27日起,利頓最高溫度破紀錄地達到46.6度。然而在不到24小時的時間裡,28日的利頓氣溫再破紀錄升至47.9度。到了29日,BC省官方通報稱利頓的氣溫,一度超過49.6度,引起全球關注。
此外,當地原住民社區近1,000居民也可能得被迫撤離,但很難聯系到當地政府。
隨著Lytton居民處理火災後的狼藉,他們會有更多的事情要擔心,要重建
