Firefighters from Quebec and Wisonsin to arrive in Thompson today to fight forest fires

Firefighters from Quebec and Wisconsin are set to arrive in The Pas and Thompson today.

 

They’ll be helping fight wildfires burning in the area.

 

The dry, hot weather has put the forest fire risk at high. Manitoba Conservation says there are 52 active forest fires in the North. Suppression efforts are currently underway south of Kelsey Lake, Lynn Lake, Setting Lake, and Little Grand Rapids.

 

There will be 42 firefighters from Quebec and 28 from Wisconsin coming to the North.
