Scant rain pushes up bushfire danger
The fire started Wednesday morning, prompting an evacuation of two towns, as a wind gust on Tuesday was blamed for pushing the fire up the coast. A town near Terez카지노 사이트i has yet to be evacuated, according to local authorities.
Rights groups on Thursday said they received information Tuesday that one of the first homes affected by the fire, in a small village on the Terezi Plateau, had collapsed after it caught fire as a result of a brush fire that broke out Wednesday. An environmental group said that two people died from smoke inhalation on Thursday afternoon, and another 29 were injured after they fell in the flames.
The emergency service told the AP that some people were trapped under the debris left by that initial brush fire, causing them to collapse from the pressure and heat of the fires.
The fire was expected to be contained as early as Saturday. It would take two to three days for the fire to subside and that amount of time could increase depending on factors such as wind, the fire department spokesman Ksenia Rane said.
Residents had been told that they would be evacuated, although they were told not to leave their homes until authorities could arrive to assess damage and determine if the area is safe to enter.
“In the event of this fire spreading rapidly, or if it spreads into the center, it would be a very heavy fire, which would mean heavy evacuation,” Rane sai바카라d.
She said no groups had yet asked to leave in anticipation of the fire spreading to other towns within the state, but residents were urged to take care that they didn’t get lost or run out of water because there is an 18-mile (30-kilometer) water supply just offshore from the villages, Rane said.
There was no power, heat or water on the island.
The government sent a ship on Wednesday night to assess the condition of the fire, according to a spokesman for the National Disaster Response Force. A large contingent of federal and state troops also were helping in the search for survivors, the spokesman said.
Some 예스카지노of the town’s residents in the coastal town of Lantu, one of the affected communities, were not as worried about the fire as residents in other towns were because they had been drinking from the well after it burst.
Lantu Mayor Peter Sultan said he doesn’t believe any residents have had their homes evacuated yet.
“I don’t think it’s a big concern for the towns tha
