MNR Sending More Support To Western U.S.

It was a quiet weekend for Ministry of Natural Resources fire crews in northwestern Ontario.

There were only two new fires reported, both small ones in the Fort Frances district.

The fire hazard is moderate to high across the region.

Meantime, the MNR is sending two more CL-415 water bombers and a birddog aircraft to Idaho on Monday.

They will join 123-personnel already stationed in the western state.

Another five staff are in Montana.

The MNR still has equipment in Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan.
