VICTORIA — A crew of firefighters is heading to Manitoba to help with wildfires in that province.
B.C.’s Forests Minister Katrine Conroy says 41 firefighters and two support staff were deployed on Wednesday.
A statement from Conroy’s office says the BC Wildfire Service welcomes the chance to share firefighting resources with other jurisdictions.
Precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will be taken and the Forests Ministry says the B.C. team will remain in its own bubble, operating separately from Manitoba firefighters.
