Description (French)
L'objectif du projet est d'apporter une aide immédiate aux agences provinciales de lutte contre les feux de forêt au Canada qui demandent une aide internationale sous la forme de personnel hautement qualifié pour la lutte contre les feux de forêt. Ce projet appuiera l'utilisation d'aéronefs affrétés et il fournira une aide financière pour couvrir les coûts de la quarantaine obligatoire dans des hôtels. Le promoteur du projet, la province de la Colombie-Britannique, la province de l'Ontario, le Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council d'Australasie (l'équivalent australien et néo-zélandais du promoteur du projet), la Nouvelle-Galles-du-Sud et l'Australie-Occidentale ont parachevé un accord grâce auquel 60 professionnels australiens de la lutte contre les feux de forêt seront déployés au Canada (en Colombie-Britannique et en Ontario). Le promoteur du projet a organisé le vol d'un cargo mixte qui transportera ces personnes de l'aéroport international de Vancouver à leur destination finale au Canada.
