布拉德利溪野火在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省西部奥卡那根印第安人保留地肆虐,摧毁了约230座房屋[1]。这场大火周五晚间突然爆发,由风速达115公里/小时的强风驱动[1],成为该国近年来最具破坏性的火灾之一。奥卡那根印第安人保留地酋长丹·威尔逊形容灾情之严重,称"从空中很难认出我的社区,所有的建筑和森林都消失了"[1]。
火灾蔓延迅速,部分居民仅有5分钟时间撤离[1]。当局已下达37项撤离令,约8000人在英属哥伦比亚各地被撤离[1]。目前该省约120场野火燃烧,其中约50场已失控[1]。
A fast-moving wildfire has devastated the Okanagan Indian Reserve in British Columbia, destroying approximately 230 homes in one of Canada's most destructive fires in recent years [1]. The Bradley Creek fire erupted Friday evening, driven by powerful winds reaching 115 kilometers per hour, leaving some residents with only five minutes to evacuate [1]. Okanagan Indian Band Chief Dan Wilson described the devastation, stating: "From the air, it is hard to recognize my community, all the buildings and forest have disappeared" [1].
The disaster has triggered a massive evacuation effort across the province, with roughly 8,000 people evacuated from various locations in British Columbia and 37 evacuation orders currently in effect [1]. The fire comes as British Columbia battles approximately 120 wildfires across the province, with about 50 of them classified as out of control [1]. This incident ranks among the most destructive recent wildfires in Canada, following the 2024 Jasper fire, which destroyed approximately 350 homes, and the 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire, which destroyed roughly 200 homes [1].
