The Minister of Natural Resources says a visit to the Northwest Region Forest Fire Management Centre has re-inforced the importance of MNR fire crews.
Michael Gravelle toured the Regional base earlier this week and he admitted that no one is immune from Government belt-tightening.
However, Gravelle stressed that public safety is his top priority.
Gravelle says its shaping up to be a busy forest fire season, with over 40-fires already reported.
