PENTICTON, B.C. — Firefighters on British Columbia's northern wildfire front line wore black bandanas Wednesday while others carrying helmets and axes marched in Penticton during a memorial procession to honour colleague Zak Muise.
Muise is the fourth firefighter to die in recent weeks during what is on track to be Canada's worst forest fire season on record. Those wanting to make an expression of sympathy can consider a donation to the Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation, which provides organizational and family support, education and training for first responders, veterans and their families coping with loss, the family said.
