To increase its capacity to respond to forest fires in Canada, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) requested 102 more Mexican fighters, adding 207 elements from Mexico to those assigned to support Canada. The new group consists of two technicians for the management, combat, and suppression of forest fires and 5 brigades, with 20 fighters each.
This team is added to the 459 elements that fight 136 active fires in Ontario, of which 105 belong to the first group sent by Mexico last Friday.
Among the firefighters sent from Mexico is Consuelo Díaz from the state of Morelos . . .
