Quebec is getting help from our province to battle dozens of out-of-control wildfires.

Around 40 firefighters from New Brunswick have been sent to help our neighbours, officials announced Wednesday.

Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries Minister Margaret Johnson said two teams of 21 firefighters had been dispatched.

Officials in Quebec were battling more than 100 wildfires as of Tuesday.

The flames have forced thousands of people from their homes.
