More Forest Firefighters Headed to Ontario

The provincial government is once again sending fire resources to help battle forest fires in Ontario.

Eight firefighters and one agency representative will join 10 others from New Brunswick to form an 18-person sustained action Atlantic Crew and are expected to be assigned to fires in the Thunder Bay region. It is anticipated the deployment will last for 19 days.

Adequate fire suppression resources remain in place throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
