More MNR Support for Western Canada

More help from Ontario is heading west to battle forest fires.
About 118-Ministry of Natural Resources firefighters and support staff are expected to leave Thursday for Northern Alberta.
With 175-local personnel already in B-C, Information Officer Debbie McLean says this latest deployment won’t leave resources thin in Northwestern Ontario.
McLean says the number of people sent to Alberta could be reduced if the forest fire situation changes in our area.
Meantime, there are 28 fires active in the West Fire region, most in the Dryden, Sioux Lookout and Red Lake area’s.
6-new fires were reported Wednesday.
