The budget is set ensure all municipalities have ground and aerial support to extinguish wildfires as they start.
Departmental spokesperson Derrick America says this allocation is in addition to each municipality’s firefighting budget.
“Members of the public who notice smoke or other signs of fire should urgently report this to the specific municipality. Working together we can work to combat this common enemy.”
