During wildfire season, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry puts firefighters, equipment, and aircraft in place across the province’s forest areas. Millar Western’s Woodlands team works in close cooperation with AAF, and independently, to ensure effective wildfire response. We maintain our own Helitack Crew to action ignitions in and near our operating areas. This year’s helitack team, Rithik Mohammed and John Slobodian, along with Forest Protection Coordinator Mike Hudson, will be working hard to make sure any wildfires in our forest areas are extinguished or controlled as quickly as possible. Thanks to Rithik, John, Mike and the Woodlands team, for helping protect our forest resources and communities!
