US EditionB.C. sending almost 100 firefighters to Ontario, after 42 deployed to Manitoba
- British Columbia plans to deploy nearly 100 wildland firefighters to assist with fires in Ontario on May 16, 2025, following a previous dispatch of 42 personnel to Manitoba.
- This deployment follows B.C.'s previous effort sending 42 firefighters to help contain wildfires near the Manitoba border, which have threatened communities.
- The assistance occurs through an inter-agency agreement that permits provinces to share wildfire resources while B.C.'s fire conditions remain manageable due to cooler weather and rain.
- The Lac du Bonnet fire in Manitoba resulted in the loss of 28 residences and cottages and claimed two lives, leading to ongoing evaluations and decisions regarding support, with Parmar mentioning that deployments typically last around two weeks.
- These inter-provincial deployments suggest continued collaboration to manage widespread wildfire threats, allowing Ontario to direct where B.C. Firefighters are assigned.
