Crews and Support Staff Sent to Ontario and Quebec

Due to the lower wildfire danger situation, we have been able to supply crews and support staff to Ontario and Quebec as their wildfire situation continues to increase. We are also lending our airtankers to help during their critical time. Resources within our province will be moved around according to need.

If you see smoke or fire in the forest, please call 310-FIRE.
