Volunteers unite from coast to coast to assist wildfire evacuees

With dry and severe weather causing wildfires to quickly spread across British Columbia, more than 46,000 people have been forced to flee their homes to safety. Many of these families and individuals were evacuated to Prince George, where they are currently seeking comfort and assistance until they are able to return home.
 
Canadian Red Cross volunteers mobilized immediately to support this response.  Over the past week, volunteers from all across the country have arrived in Prince George to support the local team. Meet some of the amazing Red Crossers that are already making a difference on the ground in Prince George.
