VICTORIA A crew of Australian firefighters are on their way to British Columbia as the province battles hundreds of wildfires. In total, 34 Australian firefighters are scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on Tuesday evening. The crew includes a nine-person management team, which includes specialised leadership workers and technical specialists. Australia and Canada have a long history of helping each other out when wildfire activity is high, said B.C. Minister of Forests Katrine Conroy in a release Monday. During this extremely challenging fire season, we greatly appreciate the support we’re receiving from Canadian provinces, the federal government and our partners abroad.
