International Firefighters Mobilize to Assist Canada’s Unprecedented Wildfire Season
Canada is set to receive nearly 700 firefighters from South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States within the next two weeks, in response to the unusually severe start of the wildfire season.
Currently, over 500 international firefighters, incident commanders, and other personnel are already present in Alberta, where multiple severe fires have been raging since early May. While the majority of the additional assistance will be directed to Alberta, some resources are being deployed to Nova Scotia, where uncontrollable fires have been causing widespread destruction since last weekend.
