Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency asked Prince Albert to consider lowering airport fees for helicopters used during wildfire emergencies. SPSA warned that high charges could discourage private aviation companies from staging aircraft in the city. Separately, the Canadian Armed Forces were deployed to Saskatchewan to support provincial crews.
