19-year-old woman firefighter killed in Canada wildfire season
A 19-year-old firefighter in western Canada died after she became trapped under a fallen tree while battling one of the wildfires that have ravaged the country for weeks, authorities said Friday.
It was the first reported death on the ground since the start of the fire season, in which more than 900 blazes are burning including 560 out of control.
The young woman was found by her team after being "caught under a fallen tree" while clearing brush in a remote area where a small fire had broken out, federal police said in a statement.
She was airlifted to a hospital where she died Thursday, they said.
The British Columbia General Employees Union said the incident occurred outside the town of Revelstoke in British Columbia.
"It is with heavy hearts that our union mourns the loss of one of our BCGEU family," it said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the news "heartbreaking" and thanked firefighters for their courage.
"We must never forget the risks these heroes take every time they run toward the danger," Trudeau tweeted.
British Columbia recently ordered new evacuations due to the blazes and requested the help of an additional 1,000 international firefighters.
"It is very, very challenging across Canada and across the globe right now to secure additional firefighting capacity," BC Fire Department spokesman Cliff Chapman said Thursday.
"This is a very dangerous job," he said. "With the conditions we are in, it makes it all that much more dangerous for our staff who are working 14, 16, 20-hour days."
Sarah Budd with the British Columbia Wildfire Service said the weather will remain hot and dry for the foreseeable future.
"We're not expecting any reprieve from the weather," Budd said.
Some 9.7 million hectares (24 million acres) have already gone up in smoke -- 11 times the average for the last decade.
And the annual record, which was set in 1989, has already been largely surpassed.
Both sides of the country are burning at the same time, which is unusual for Canada.
Some provinces unaccustomed to fires have also been affected, including northern Quebec, where more than a million hectares have burned.
Canada, which is warming faster than the rest of the planet because of its geography, has been confronted with extreme weather events whose intensity and frequency have increased due to climate change.
Smoke from the fires has fouled the air in Canada and the neighboring United States, affecting more than 100 million people, at times disrupting flights and forcing the cancellation of outdoor events.
