A wildland firefighter from Ontario was fatally injured on Friday while helping battle the largest wildfire in B.C. history.

According to police, the 25-year-old was working in a remote area, north of Fort St. John, when the UTV he was riding on rolled over a steep drop on a gravel road.

“He was transported by helicopter to the Fort St. John airport,” said RCMP, “but sadly succumbed to his injuries while en route.”

Police said the events surrounding the man’s death are being investigated by several agencies, including WorkSafeBC and the BC Coroners Service. He was working for a private B.C. company.
