(MNR Photo)Ontario is sending more support to help western Canada deal with its forest fire situation.
Debbie MacLean of the Ministry of Natural Resources says one-hundred firefighters will depart for British Columbia later this afternoon.
Most are from northwestern Ontario and join those already in the west.
"Right now we have 75 west fire region personal in BC, 21 in Manitoba and 21 in Saskatchewan," says MacLean. "We're sending an additional 63 out of the 107 leaving today."
MNR crews have been in BC and Saskatchewan since Sunday.
Those in Manitoba are into their second week.
