The fourth Canadian firefighter has died while on duty battling the raging wildfires.

A 25-year-old Ontario man working for the B-C Wildfire Service died while fighting the almost six-thousand-square-kilometre Donnie Creek blaze.

He received injuries when his heavy-duty A-T-V rolled over a steep drop on a gravel road north of Fort St. John.
Before this, the most recent Canadian firefighter to die was the 41-year-old pilot from Whitecourt, Alberta who died after his helicopter crashed in northwest Alberta in the Peace River region around 6:13 Wednesday night.

Nineteen-year-old firefighter Devyn Gale also died after a tree fell on her near Revelstoke, B.C. and a few days later, 25-year-old firefighter Adam Yeadon died while fighting a wildfire in the Northwest Territories.
