A team featuring 29 Nova Scotians, a representative from the department of Natural Resources and five Prince Edward Islanders will fly out from Halifax Stanfield on Sunday morning. “Our friends in Alberta are fighting fast-moving, out-of-control wildfires, and they need our help,” said Natural Resources minister Tory Rushton. “I thank all Nova Scotians for following the daily burn restrictions, which is helping keep our wildfire season manageable here at home and allows us to send another crew out west.” The department says current wildfire conditions in Nova Scotia allow the province to send the firefighters to help in Alberta, but Rushton is still asking Nova Scotians to be careful. “We’re heading into a hot long weekend, so I urge Nova Scotians to remain vigilant about fire safety,” he said. The province said a team that went to B.C. to help fight fires last month has returned home, and the group heading to Alberta can be called home quickly if they’re needed in Nova Scotia. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Halifax Wanderers unsure if its highly-regarded new signing will play Monday next post Nova Scotia Health, union dispute wait times for ultrasounds ahead of conciliation talks You may also like Investigation into homicide of pregnant Halifax woman continues... 24 نوفمبر، 2024 First Canadian case of more severe mpox strain... 24 نوفمبر، 2024 توقيفات وإدانات بعد تحوّل تظاهرة ضد الـ’’ناتو‘‘ في... 24 نوفمبر، 2024 انصهار الاختلاف في سرب واحد لإنشاد التحرّر من... 24 نوفمبر، 2024 Wind and rainfall warnings issued for parts of... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 Pictou County District RCMP investigating serious crash involving... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أوتاوا تنفي امتلاكها أدلة تربط ناريندرا مودي بأعمال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 إحياء شهر التراث اللبناني من قِبل القوات المسلحة... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أونتاريو: تشريع مقبل لحماية القادمين الجدد من الاحتيال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 New poll shows Houston’s PCs maintaining big lead... 22 نوفمبر، 2024
