Premier Doug Ford is pledging his support to help Alberta deal with a fast-moving wildfire in Jasper that has forced residents to flee from their homes with little notice following an evacuation order on Monday.
In a post on social media, Ford said he is “devastated” to see the “terrible impacts” of the wildfires, adding that the province of Ontario “stands with our friends in Alberta.”
Ford said Ontario will do “anything” it can to help, including sending firefighters, helicopters and “all the equipment we can spare.”
“Ontario will be there with Alberta as you rebuild,” Ford wrote.
