MNR Supporting Fire Fighting Efforts In Montana

Widespread rain on Saturday has helped put a damper on the forest fire situation in northwestern Ontario.
That has allowed the Ministry of Natural Resources to lend a helping hand to crews in Montana.
A total of 109 firefighters and support staff from across the province are expected to spend 19-days in Montana battling wildfires.
A large group is leaving the Dryden Regional Airport this morning.
MNR Information Officer Debbie MacLean says they have enough staff if the fire hazard increases in this area.
The forest fire hazard is low across the northwest region.
19 fires continue to burn and over 27,000 hectars of land has been charred.
This season 327 fires have burned more than 40,000 of land.
