MNR Reviewing Arizona Fire Fatalities

Preventing firefighter deaths in Northwestern Ontario.

The Ministry of Natural Resources continues to take the extra steps to make sure their crews are safe and prevent a similar incident like the one in Arizona that killed 19 firefighters.

MNR Spokesperson Al Tithecott says they aren't sure if it will change how they handle forest fires.

Tithecott says they also look at how the fires will move around and estimate where they will burn.
