This is the second wildfire MOU Canada has signed with a foreign country in two weeks.
Canada has signed a mutual aide agreement with Portugal as part of a long-term plan to help each other in the event of catastrophic wildfires.
"In the face of the most severe wildfire season in history, our top priority will always be keeping Canadians safe,” said Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson in a written statement. This year, Portugal sent 140 firefighters to Canada as part of the first ever dispatch of European personnel to the country under the continent's Emergency Response Coordination Centre.
