This summer, wildfires have again created havoc and damage around the world, including here in Canada. Salvation Army emergency disaster teams have been busy assisting people on the frontlines.

As the blazes worsen in BC, first responders are working tirelessly while many are faced with the prospect being displaced and losing their homes. We are on alert to provide aid to the first responders and those impacted by this emergency.
