7:03 pm
drives to get to safety, doing it in a thoughtful, orderly way of being there to help out each other and look out for each other is really the best of what just what canada is. particularly people live in the north where the sense of community and looking out for each other is, is truly extraordinary. for the residents of yellowknife, there's some good news firefighters there have so far been able to keep the flames threatening their hometown at bay and join. now by rebecca lp, the may of illinois, thanks so much for taking the time we hear that things are deteriorating from this distance. what is the situation on the ground right now? yeah, so it can be challenging. uh, we've got some strong winds coming today. we had a little bit of rain yesterday, but that's not enough to to really do anything positive. so the, the winds today could make it challenging because they are coming from the west. so
7:04 pm
that's pushing the fire towards yellow. nice. um, but i do have to stress that the crews have been working hard both that the city and private companies here to create what we call fire breaks. so that's removing or creating a buffer between the fire and, and the community 100 meters wide. removing all those trees and then the territorial governments been doing the firefighting from the air. so the past couple days have been good and the, the water tankers have been able to, to get up and, and hit those fires from there. and the spot, the toilets with so many and the successful with to hold back the danger as you cite in these conditions. so is it possible to really say that the danger has completely passed? no, exactly, no we, we couldn't say that so. um, you know, there was, uh, a comment yesterday of oh, you know what, it sounds like a positive situation and i'm like, no it's, it's, um, it's folks are working hard on this and they'll continue to work hard on this. but
7:05 pm
we're definitely not out of the clear yet. and so, um, you know, the, the good news for, or a relief for me yesterday was that so many people were successfully and safely evacuated from the community. we still have about 1600 people that were encouraging to leave. we have of course, on top of that, a 1000 essential workers, but we're encouraging those. those last few folks please please be the. yeah. of the 1600 to you. uh, one of them you'll still in yell enough to spot the deadline to evacuate. i wonder if i can ask, how are you personally coping and how these last days been for you? yeah, and myself in the cities emergency management team as well as um, the crews working on the ground. we're still here. um, you know, it's, it's tiring, but it, yesterday was also and the positive news. we had more, more cruise arrive. so we had more municipal firefighters to,
7:06 pm
to arrive in case the fire does reach our boundary and it impacts any buildings. we have more crews on the ground to fight them. and we also have more crews arrive to, to help us the emergency response. so a lot of the logistics and organizing in that regard, so i'm tired, but we're, we're making it through one day, one hour, at a time. it very much dealing with the now understandably have you had a moment to think about what impact these events they will have on the future of your community. yeah, i and so it's been interesting because uh yellowknife is actually host been the host community for other communities in the northwest territories this year, who have had to leave their communities due to the wildfire. so in may we hosted um the community of he river and the calorie to 1st nation. their communities were impacted by forest fires. and then beecher co,
7:07 pm
um we are the there were 9 communities that were evacuated this week in the northwest territories. so i think of our, our territory we've always had under housing, not enough, chose, is not suitable houses. and, you know, any houses that we lose is, is a host to many because we're, we're short to begin with. so there's a lot of work to do even, you know, i'm, i'm driving around right now to see if anybody needs a ride to the evacuation center. and we're in the midst of construction projects that it's probably unlikely that we're going to finish before the winter hits. and so there's just all these other items that you don't think about that we're gonna have to, to, to start thinking about and facing in the, in the couple weeks, incredibly stressful hours. we really appreciate your time, rebecca. i'll take the man, if you have a nice, thank you so much. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines that this l. y fi and spines
