The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency has dispatched personnel and equipment to Prince Edward Island to support the continuing cleanup efforts following post-tropical storm Fiona. Fifteen wildland firefighters and one liaison will be based out of Charlottetown for two weeks.

They are bringing along chainsaws and protective equipment so they can clear fallen trees that damaged structures and continue to block roads.

A news release from the SPSA says the firefighters are from bases across the province. They took off yesterday (Fri) for the Maritimes.
