ALBERTA, Canada — A firefighter died Tuesday night while fighting a wildfire that forced several communities to evacuate.
Metro News reported that James Hargrave of the Walsh fire station was battling a grass fire that was increased by gusting winds.
“James was community-minded and joined the fire services to help and protect residents far and near,” Cypress County officials said. “He was a great father and will be dearly missed by his wife, children, extended family, friends, neighbors and fellow first responders.”
