Explained in plain English
Who helps in a crisis?
In Canada, when a province like British Columbia is overwhelmed by a disaster such as these wildfires, the federal government steps in to provide assistance. This can include sending military personnel, equipment, or financial aid to support local efforts and help those evacuated. It's a national response to a provincial emergency.
