Authorities said Saturday they had already seen an increase in fire activity and were expecting more. Residents forced to evacuate early this month say they are frustrated with the indefinite displacement. Special alerts have been declared across western Canada, and officials urged vigilance with temperatures in some areas forecast to hit 30\u00b0 Celsius (86\u00b0F), 10 to 15 degrees above normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wildfire danger is extreme in most of the province and will continue to increase in the coming days,\u201d Alberta Wildfire official Josee St-Onge told a briefing Saturday. &#8220;We are expecting wildfire activity to pick up today. In fact, it already has.&#8221; As of Saturday afternoon there were 83 active wildfires in Alberta, 21 of them out of control, according to authorities. About 16,500 people were displaced as of Saturday, down from about 30,000 earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Oil and gas producers had shut in at least 319,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, or 3.7% of national production.Recent cooling and rain helped firefighters tackle some blazes and restored most of the energy production, but expectations of rising weekend temperatures have fanned worries. Officials urged anyone wanting to help fight fires to contact their local authorities first and work with them.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian army is helping with firefighting and recovery efforts in the province, where a state of emergency has been in place since May 6. More than 200 soldiers were deployed after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8217;s government approved a request for federal assistance on Thursday, with about 100 more are expected to be deployed over the coming days. More than 300 firefighters have come from across Canada and the United States and another 200 are expected from the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/canadas-alberta-braces-more-wildfires-volatile-weather-worsens-2023-05-13\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/106948\/\">Canada&#8217;s Alberta faces more wildfires amid hot, dry weather<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[8820,1544,575,2657],"class_list":["post-114252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-alberta","tag-canada","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-wildfire"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114252\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
