Quebec looks for international support to fight over 160 wildfires

Quebec is seeking international support as it grapples with over 160 forest fires, which federal officials consider to be one of the most severe fire seasons in Canada’s history.

Despite having over 480 wilderness firefighters deployed, Quebec’s Premier, François Legault, stated on Monday that they can only combat around 30 of the fires.

Normally, assistance would be sought from firefighters in other provinces, but Legault acknowledged that they are currently overwhelmed.

The number of fires burning across Canada increased from 324 on Friday afternoon to 413 on Monday morning. Later in the day, the total surged to 42, PBS reported.
