More MNR Fire Crews Heading West


The Ministry of Natural Resources is sending another 20-firefighters from this District to Kamloops, B.C. today.


They will join the 20-staff from Northwestern Ontario that are already there.

Information Officer Heather Pridham says they can afford to lend a helping hand.

Pridham says the MNR also has 133-power pumps, 200-powerpump kits, 28-chainsaw kits and 8-thousand and 500 lengths of hose in B.C.
