'Explosive' wildfire growth near Port Alberni, B.C., unusual for Vancouver Island: wildfire service
Rain is expected to fall on an out-of-control wildfire on Vancouver Island on Friday, but wildfire crews are focusing their efforts on the edge closest to the community of Port Alberni, B.C., as winds push the fire in that direction. The Mount Underwood fire jumped to 21.56 square kilometres (2,156 hectares) Wednesday morning, and is burning more than 10 kilometres south of Port Alberni, a small city home to about 19,000 people. The fire, which is roughly the same size as the City of Victoria, has prompted the city, Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) and Tseshaht First Nation to declare states of local emergency. More than 500 properties in the Bamfield and Anacla areas are still without power due to the blaze, according to B.C. Hydro's outage list. Those properties haven't had power since around 6 p.m. PT on Monday. The ACRD has said the power is expected to be out for longer than 72 hours. Evacuation orders have been issued by the ACRD and Cowichan Valley Regional District for around 55 properties in total, a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and recreational properties. WATCH | Vancouver Island wildfire grows rapidly: The fire rapidly expanded Tuesday, ballooning from about 6.3 square kilometres Monday night to almost 14.5 square kilometres Tuesday night, before growing again Wednesday. ACRD chair and Huu-ay-aht First Nations Chief Coun. John Jack said the quick growth of the fire is concerning. "This is a fire that hasn't really been seen on Vancouver Island," he told CBC's On the Island Wednesday morning. Three evacuation alerts are also in effect, issued by the ACRD, the City of Port Alberni for the Cameron Heights neighbourhood, and the Tseshaht First Nation. The alerts, which require residents to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, cover almost 200 affected properties. Jack stressed that those under evacuation alert should have a plan for where to stay, where to keep pets and what to do for medications, especially if they need refrigeration. In a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, fire information office Karley Desrosiers said that forecasters were predicting rain on Friday, but it likely wouldn't immediately extinguish the blaze. "As we've experienced over much of the summer, the forecast often over-predicts the amount of rain that we receive," she told reporters. "Due to the drought conditions that we're experiencing ... on Vancouver Island, it would take a significant amount of rain over a longer period to really penetrate and extinguish the fire that is going to be burning deep in the ground." Desrosiers said firefighters didn't see rapid growth overnight into Wednesday, as they had on Monday when the fire was first started. It is suspected to have been sparked by human activity, and she said that firefighters were focusing on the northwest flank of the blaze, closest to Port Alberni. "Today, we've seen a shift in the wind. So the wind is pushing from the south towards the north, which is why crews are focused heavily on that northern flank," she said.'Unprecedented' dry conditions Julia Caranci, another fire information officer with the B.C. Wildfire Service, said Tuesday this "extreme" fire behaviour is unusual for Vancouver Island. "We are in the midst of a severe drought," she said at a news conference on Tuesday. She noted strong winds had pushed the fire "aggressively" uphill. "In the seven years I've worked for the Coastal Fire Centre, I don't think I've seen a fire like this on Vancouver Island," Caranci said. She said the "unprecedented" dry conditions, combined with the strong winds, hot weather and steep, rugged terrain, came together to contribute to the fire's growth. "When the temperature is rising and the relative humidity falls, and we have strong winds pushing on a new incident, we can see that explosive type of growth," Caranci said. "Again, we don't normally see that on fires on Vancouver Island." The province has issued an air quality warning due to the wildfire smoke. It recommended residents near Port Alberni and areas to the southeast, such as Lake Cowichan, limit their time outdoors, as increasing smoke levels can increase health risks. The service said there is no threat to Bamfield or Port Alberni at this time, but has asked non-residents to stay away from Bamfield, an unincorporated community with about 300 year-round residents, to avoid putting more pressure on the community. Ken Watts, elected chief councillor of the Tsesaht First Nation, said he personally delivered evacuation alerts to some of his nation's members due to the blaze. "To see, like, the kind of fear in their eyes about their home and the sadness, worried about what it is, what could happen to their own home — it's something I'll never forget, and it's a tough thing to do," he said. "Really, again, a huge shout-out to all those who work in this field. They do this every single day." Power outage in Bamfield area B.C. Hydro says it's likely to be many days, possibly more than a week, before power is restored to Bamfield and the nearby Ditidaht First Nation. "It all depends on when we're given permission to go into the area to do the assessment," said Ted Olynyk, manager of community relations for B.C. Hydro, Vancouver Island-Sunshine Coast. Olynyk said the utility company needs to wait for clearance from BCWS and government authorities in order for it to be safe for crews to assess the damage. And once Hydro crews can assess, then the repairs need to take place. "That can be a couple days; it could be up to a week, depending on the amount of damage we're faced with." Olynyk said there have been some pictures from the air showing damage to power lines. "But we don't know if it's just five poles, five kilometres' worth of poles [or] how much damage we have to deal with." Jack, ACRD chair, said Wednesday morning that the community hall and office operate on propane, and generators operate on diesel or gasoline. He said organizations are working to get fuel to the community through the alternate route to and from the Cowichan area.

Family of 3 killed in US state of Tennessee as heavy rains and flash floods wreak havoc
At least three people from the same family were among those killed during heavy rain and flooding in Tennessee, as submerged roads caused chaos and led to dramatic rescues of people trapped in their cars, authorities said Wednesday. The three, a mother, father, and child, were killed when saturated ground caused a large tree to fall in the Chattanooga suburb of East Ridge just after midnight, Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management spokesperson Amy Maxwell said. Authorities said they found another body on Wednesday while searching for a man who was swept away when he ran past firefighters and a barricade blocking a flooded road on Tuesday, according to the Chattanooga Fire Department. Local police and a medical examiner are expected to determine the cause of death, US media reported. People were stuck in vehicles and homes At a news conference on Wednesday, officials said they didn't expect so much rain and flooding to hit so quickly. At one point, there were 60 vehicles on the flooded interstate, said Chris Adams, director of emergency management for Hamilton County. Some first responders were carrying people on their backs who couldn't move well through the water and placed them on the raised highway divider, Adams added. 'We all know to 'turn around, not drown,' but when you look at it and it's 2 inches deep, and then next thing you know it's 4 feet deep, that's something you've never seen before,' Adams said. The flooding prompted rescues of people stuck in homes and swamped vehicles, officials said. Some six million people were under a flood watch through Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service, which also warned of the potential for training storms, particularly over already saturated terrain, and sporadic flash flooding with tropical-like heavy rains. Heavy rains triggering floods across US Chattanooga's airport recorded more than 6.4 inches (about 16 centimetres of rain Tuesday, marking the second-wettest day recorded for the city dating back to 1879, according to a social media post by the National Weather Service in Morristown. The highest single-day total was nearly 9.5 inches (24 centimetres) in September 2011 from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, the weather service said. Chattanooga Fire Department officials said their crews had to rescue people trapped in vehicles and residents stuck in their homes. Although flooding closed parts of Interstate 24 in the area, it reopened once floodwaters receded, authorities said. Related Heatwaves, floods and sea level rise: UK weather extremes are increasing, Met Office confirms Two people dead, 10 others injured in explosion at US Steel plant in Pennsylvania This summer, parts of the US are seeing more flash flooding, as record-breaking rains pour in some regions, something scientists attribute to climate change brought on by pollution from fossil fuels. Last month, the US National Weather Service had already issued over 3,600 flash flood warnings nationwide, nearly equal to its annual average. And according to the latest weather forecasts, several areas of the US will see pockets of severe thunderstorms during the weekend, increasing the possibility of lightning, gusty winds, and flash flooding.
