Canada will be receiving the
aid of 301 South African firefighters to assist the Canadian Interagency Forest
Fire Centre in the countries wildland fire suppression efforts at the province
of Alberta.
This deployment of wildland
firefighters is the biggest South African deployment ever outside of the army
to assist a foreign country.
CIFFC is proud of South
African fire fighters from their Working on Fire programme and with no doubt
believe that they will do South Africa proud to provide these essential
services to Canada.
In April, Working on Fire held a deployment
boot camp in Gauteng to prepare 400 South African firefighters for deployment
and to meet international standards.
