Nova Scotia sending another crew to fight wildfires in Saskatchewan

Nova Scotia is sending a crew of firefighters to Saskatchewan. (Source: Province of Nova Scotia) Nova Scotia is sending a crew to Saskatchewan to help fight wildfires in that province for the second time in two months. The province says a crew of 20 firefighters will fly to Saskatoon on Saturday. 'Western Canada is having a tough wildfire season, they need our help, and we're in a good position to help,' said Tory Rushton, minister of Natural Resources, in a news release. 'I thank Nova Scotians for following the daily burn restrictions. By limiting wildfires in our province, we not only avoid devastation in our communities – we can also send another crew to our friends in need in Saskatchewan.' Nova Scotia sent a team of 20 firefighters to the prairie province in late May. That group returned in June. According to the Government of Saskatchewan, there are 50 active wildfires in the province as of Friday. There have been 376 total wildfires to date.
