Fire Rangers Return Home

Most of the fire ranger crews from Ontario battling blazes out west in British Columbia are expected to be home by the end of the day.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says 99 fire fighters were flown back yesterday and the remaining 59 are due to return sometime today.

Ontario has had fire ranger crews out in B.C. for nine weeks, battling wildfires in that province.

Things remain quiet on the home front in terms of forest fire activity, with just one new blaze reported in the Sioux Lookout District.
