Isebe lezendalo iMaryland State Department ligrogrise ngokukhupha ichibi eHampstead ngaphandle kokuba abahlali balungise umonakalo owenziwe edameni, nobiza kuxabisa malunga ne-150,000 yeedola.
I-Aspen Run Pond likhaya leentlobo ezininzi zeentlanzi, kwaye lihlala lihlala zizilwanyana zasendle kunye nabahlali abakufutshane. Oku kuluncedo nakwisebe lomlilo. Ngokombuso, ukuphuphuma kwedama kuthathwa njengengozi kwidama kwelinye icala. Ukuba ummelwane akayi kulungisa ngokwakhe, isebe lokusingqongileyo liya kukhupha.
UMike Watson ongumhlali onenxalenye yedama uthi eli dama liye laphuphuma kweyeKhala kunyaka ophelileyo kwaza kwavuza isiqingatha samanzi. UWatson uthi ummelwane wafowunela urhulumente ngenxa yokuxhalabela izilwanyana, kwaye ekugqibeleni kwangenelela isebe lezendalo kurhulumente (MDE).
Isithethi se-MDE uJay Apperson uthe kwi-imeyile i-MDE yahlola ichibi ngoJulayi kwaye yafumanisa ukuba ichibi alikhuselekanga kwaye yakhupha isaziso sokuphulwa komthetho kumnini.
Uthe: “Amanyathelo afunekayo aquka ukususa imiqobo kwindlela yokuchitheka, ukuqesha iinjineli, ukujonga umlinganiselo wamanzi echibini, nokususa imithi edameni.”
U-Apperson wongezelela ukuba umnini unoxanduva lokugcinwa kunye nokuqinisekisa ukusebenza ngokukhuselekileyo kwedama ukukhusela ubomi kunye nemithombo yendalo. Nangona kunjalo, abahlali abazange bawagqibe la manyathelo xa bayalelwa.
“Ebutsheni boMdumba, iMDE yakhupha isaziso esazisa isebe ukuba ijonge ukuthatha amanyathelo angxamisekileyo okutshabalalisa eli dama phantsi kwegunya lomthetho karhulumente,” utshilo u-Apperson. "Ukuba umniniyo unengxaki ekugqibezeleni imisebenzi kunye nokugcinwa okufunekayo ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwedama, i-MDE iya kuthatha eli nyathelo lokudiliza idama."
Wongeze ngelithi ukuba idama alinakulungiswa, kuya kubangela ubungozi obunokubakho kubanini bezakhiwo kunye nemithombo yendalo esezantsi, kubandakanywa nokukhutshwa okungalawulekiyo kwamanzi kunye nentlenga echibini, equlethe i-trout ehambelana nechibi. ukuhamba. U-Apperson akazange aphendule ukuba abahlali kufuneka bayisombulule ixesha elingakanani le ngxaki, kodwa wathi i-MDE iyawazi umnqweno wabo wokugcina ichibi.
Wathi: pNangona kunjalo, urhulumente ukwanoxanduva lokuqinisekisa ukuba ukungakhuseleki kwedama kusonjululwa ngokukhawuleza ukuze kukhuselwe uluntu lwasekuhlaleni kunye nabanini beepropati ezisezantsi kunye nemithombo yamanzi.q
UWatson uthe iikota ezintathu zedama ziphethwe ngumntu omnye, kwaye akasahlali apho kwaye akanakuqhagamshelwana naye. Uthe sele ineminyaka engama-50 ikhona kwaye akukho mmelwane ufuna ukuyibona. Wongeze ngelithi kukho amawaka eentlanzi, amafudo, amasele, iibeaver, iimuskrats, amarhanisi, amadada, amaxhama, iimpungutye namaxhalanga amabini.
UWatson uthe uneminyaka engama-74 ubudala, wayedla umhlala-phantsi, kwaye wayengenayo i-$ 150,000 yokulungisa ichibi. Akukho bamelwane nabo. Iphepha leGoFundMe, elenziwe ngumhlali waseHampstead uJessica Hobbs, ucele uncedo kuluntu lokunyusa imali.
Ukulahlekelwa echibini akukhona nje ngabamelwane, kodwa kunye ne-Hampstead Volunteer Fire Brigade. Inkosi yesebe lomlilo, uTroy Hipsley, uthumele ileta eluntwini echaza isitshixo somlilo ocima idama.
U-Shipsley wabhala kule leta: pI-Aspen River Pond sisixhobo esibalulekileyo sokucima umlilo kwiindawo ezomileyo. Le lahleko yobutyebi bamanzi inokuba neziphumo ezibi.q pEli dama linezigidi zeelitha zamanzi. , Thina kunye namanye amaSebe oMlilo eCarroll County sithembele kula manzi ngokucinywa komlilo, kwaye umnini wawo uye wawahlaziya ngezixhobo zokucima umlilo ezomileyo.”
Wachaza ukuba i-hydrants eyomileyo yimibhobho efakwe ngokusisigxina phantsi komgangatho wamanzi kunye nezihlungi ekupheleni ukuthintela i-debris ekungeneni kwimibhobho. Iloli yomlilo inokudityaniswa kwelinye icala. U-Shipsley wayibiza le ndawo ngokuba yinto yokonga ixesha, “oku kubaluleke kakhulu xa ujongene nomlilo.”
Uthe kudliwano-ndlebe ukuba akukho chibi, baza kuthembela kumanzi anokuthwalwa ziilori, kwaye ukuba ilori iyaphela, kuya kufuneka babize iilori ezininzi. Enye inketho kukudibanisa kwisixhobo sokucima umlilo kwi-1.6 yeemayile kude.
Uthe: "Nanini na xa songeza izinto ezifana nexesha okanye umgama, kunokuba nefuthe elibi kwesi sehlo." Wongeze ngelithi ukuhamba ngakumbi kunokuzisa umngcipheko weengozi zendlela okanye ukusilela koomatshini.
U-Shipsley wakhe wathetha into enjalo. Ichibi elikufutshane leCascade (iChibi leCascade) lalisetyenziselwa ukuqubha, kwaye urhulumente wakhutshwa amanzi.
Umphathi womlilo wathi le leta inokulungiswa yinkampani yokucima umlilo kuba ngumcimbi wabucala ofuna "ibhalansi ebuthathaka." Ubalule ukubaluleka kwengxaki kunye nemveliso yabamelwane.
Iphepha leGoFundMe lifundeka ngolu hlobo: “Lo asingomsebenzi ulula, kodwa sizimisele ukukhusela nokugcina ichibi ukuze liqhubeke libe yindawo yokusabela izilwanyana zasendle ngelixa sixhasa ukhuseleko loluntu lwethu.”
