Incendios en Ontario obligan a detener trenes y evacuar comunidad indígena

Clima Sociedad

Tres trenes de carga que transportaban materiales inflamables fueron detenidos cerca de la subdivisión Allanwater en Ontario después de que los incendios obligaran a los equipos a retroceder más de 150 millas, según The Mirror US. Una interrupción similar se produjo cerca de Armstrong, donde tres trenes de Canadian National Railway quedaron rodeados por las llamas, informó FOX Weather. La BBC señaló que el humo de más de 800 incendios en Canadá obligó al rescate de la tripulación de un tren y se desplazó hacia Toronto y varias ciudades estadounidenses, generando aire peligroso. Ontario estaba lidiando con más de 100 incendios activos, 69 de los cuales estaban fuera de control, lo que provocó evacuaciones obligatorias en varias comunidades del noroeste y un deterioro de la calidad del aire, informó Yahoo News Canada.

Posteriormente, la provincia reportó más de 130 incendios y solicitó ayuda federal, incluida la posible participación militar, según The New York Times. El Ministerio de Recursos Naturales de Ontario indicó que el número de incendios activos superó los 180, afectando al menos a 15 comunidades y motivando una solicitud formal de asistencia federal, añadió The New York Times. En la fase final, un incendio de rápida propagación destruyó alrededor de 30 viviendas y edificios comunitarios en la Primera Nación Collins, obligando a los residentes a evacuar en bote, informó CNN. La evacuación generó demandas para revisar la respuesta de Ontario a los incendios forestales.
