Through cooperation between the Department of Forest Conservation and Protection Services, the Fire and Emergency Service of New Zealand (FENZ) will deploy 24 of its officers to Canada, to replace the team that was deployed earlier.
According to FENZ officer Emma Gibb, their troops were well prepared for the Ottawa bushfires, with training and preparations underway.
“We got a pretty good briefing on the dangers, the do’s and don’ts. What we did there was based on the information provided by the previous team,” he said.
As quoted RNZAs of Friday (6/23), Canada currently has 410 active wildfires, 198 of which are out of control, with the country’s alert level remaining at Extreme Level 5.
Due to the chaotic situation, approximately 3.3 million hectares have been burned in this country, spread across several Canadian provinces, including Nova Scotia, Quebec and Alberta.
Millions of people have also seen the effects of smoke from the fires that have spread to many parts of the United States, such as New York which was recently hit by poor air quality, with smog engulfing the metropolis.
Besides New Zealand, many other countries have also offered to help put out the worst fires in Canadian history, such as firefighters from the United States, Australia and South Africa, who also joined in the effort.
