Alberta sends 41 firefighters; 1 from Fort McMurray; to Quebec

The province is sending 41 firefighters to Quebec to help fight wildfires in the province.

One of them is a strike team leader from Fort McMurray; but because the wildfire risk here is still high, the rest of the local contingent is staying put.

That leaves 42 firefighters, six helicopters, and two tanker groups in the Fort McMurray area.
