MNR Lending a Helping Hand

The Ministry of Natural Resources is once again sending personnel from Ontario to help fight forest fires in British Columbia.
A total of 122 fire fighters and support staff are being deployed Thursday morning to Kamloops.
Information Officer Debbie McLean says they can lend their support and still be adequately equipped at home.
The contingent includes 15 FireRanger Crews from MNR fire bases across Northwestern Ontario.
There are currently 16 active forest fires burning in the region.
McLean says people still need to use caution with their brush and camp fires.
