MNR Lends Air Support to Minnesota

Even though the fire season is starting to wind down in northwestern Ontario, MNR crews continue to lend assistance out-of-province.

Yesterday, two CL-415 water bombers and a bird dog aircraft were sent to northwestern Minnesota to battle a large wild fire that had crossed the border into Manitoba.

That fire has grown to about 600 hectares in size.
