Hampton Tours fire ravaged communities

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. has been touring the region meeting with residents of first nation communities which have been threatened by wild fires.

Hampton has chartered his own plane to get into some of the  hard to reach areas.

He says fire fighters have been working under very difficult conditions.

Hampton has been critical of the government's response to the crisis and says more needs to be done to ensure this doesn't turn into a catastrophe.
