More Firefighting Help to B.C.

More forest fire fighting resources from Ontario are being dispatched to fire-ravaged British Columbia.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says over 230 firefighters and support staff will leave for the west coast from Sudbury and Dryden tomorrow. About half will come from northwestern Ontario.

It's the fourth deployment this month and brings to 570 the number of MNR personnel to head to B.C.
