Mexican firefighters arrive in California to help battle wildfires

Firefighters from Mexico are in California to help battle the record-breaking wildfires ravaging the state.

The US Forest Service in California welcomed firefighters from Mexico's National Forestry Commission on Wednesday."Fires do not have borders, fires do not have different languages and cultures. In the end we all speak the same language when it comes to fighting fire," said Eduardo Cruz, the Mexican agency's national fire director. The crews from Mexico will help fight the Sequoia Complex Fire, which spans more than 144,000 acres and as of Thursday was only 35% contained.

— USFS Fire-California September 24, 2020 Canada also sent firefighting crews to California and Oregon this month, after the US Forest Service requested additional help through the National Interagency Fire Center. At least 23 large fires are burning in California, with 12 more in Oregon. In California, more than 3.4 million acres have been burned -- the worst in the state's history. In Oregon, 938,000 acres have burned.

A president who paid $750 in federal taxes is withholding federal aid to a state. Hmmm 'lock him up'!!!!!!!

Oh, we can open the “wall” when we need help? How about that? Much appreciation to these Mexican firefighters and so sorry for our sad, so called, leader and how he has treated our brothers to the south.

carloshga 👍❤️

all fires started because of man, not man made global warming

MsVeracruzV Four of our Texas counties are currently in North California Oregon and Nevada God bless these boys God bless Texas and on the other side we have first responders going to the golf because of the tropical rains and the flooding this isn’t politics y’all this is people!

When will Newsom learn to spend the money on deforestation? That’s what helps prevent forest fires. Notice it doesn’t go into Canada?

Show that,but the negative things illegals do you hide

Fires ordered and directed by their governor and mayors

Amazing that the same forests on the Canadian side of the border don’t burn. It’s called forest management

The whole of 2020 should have been the whole wide world helping each other like this ❤️ goosebumps humanitywithheart

Why from Mexico and not from other US states? Asking for a friend

Thank you Mexico! After all the crap Trump has said and done it's nice to know they are the adults in the room.

Really CNN what a pathetic comment u have in this pathetic headline, the problem is with the illegal bringing crime and drugs in this country. Save your your so called heroic story it is not impressing anyone.

Mexico sending us their best! Thank you, neighbors!

Thank you to Mexico for sending the firegighters to help battle the fires in America!

FoxNews realDonaldTrump Funny how Fox news and the president have avoided taking about the international firefighters, coming to assist in the devistating fires in California. Doesn't want to acknowledge that great people come from other countries.

Thank you. Gracias. ❤️🙂👍🏼

I wonder why there are no fires in Mexico yet so many across the border in California? Arson?

trump wanted to built a wall to keep them away from her and is letting them come. A true friend will always be there at the time of need.

These firefighters from Mexico are heading to my area of Tulare County, Visalia, California We are the Gateway to the Sequoias. Three Rivers which is just over our foothills has been issued a warning evac. We can see our hills lit up at night. Crazy SQF Complex Fire

Goodness is everywhere

Oh Lord, don't let Trump see this or he will put them in cages.

They receive compensation to fight fires

Thank you!! To all the firefighters who are risking their lives to put down the fires 🔥

Wonderful job guys thank you

Gracias, Mexico! Muy amable! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 EmbamexEUA

Are these the same guys Trump referred to as 'drug dealers, criminals, and rapists'? Nah, couldn't be. Thanks for your help, Mexico. We don't deserve it. TrumpIsUnfit

Thank you!

How did they manage to get in the country with that impenetrable wall Trump built on the border?

God bless them!

Thank you, Mexico.

Did they run out of inmates who work for 2 bucks an hour?

Actually they do. Poor forest management in democratic states is a big contributor.

95% of all fires caused by humans..... 👇🏻

'Firefighters'

Good and I’m sure U.S. firefighters would help Mexico. Canada also has firefighters here and......

Why? I mean, it shows their humanity and good work but with what is transpiring in US, probably the white people will think that they are there to carry out their belongings.. ..

Fires do have borders. They are called fire breaks and lack of fire breaks have led to this devastation. Blame your tree hugging politicians.

Viva Mexico! Great help!

How did they get past the wall

Thank you!

These fires do appear to have borders since they know not to cross into Canada

Insert trump/Mexico will pay for the wall joke

Thank you, Mexico, for your help. Mexico wildfires California CaliforniaFires CaliforniaWildfires
