Mexico sends firefighters to help battle devastating Los Angeles wildfires [Video]

As flames continue to ravage Los Angeles, Mexico announced on Saturday it has sent firefighters to help.

In a post on social media, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said the group left on Saturday morning.

“We are a generous and supportive country,” she wrote.

On Friday, the BC Wildfire Service announced it was deploying a senior management team to help fight the Los Angeles wildfires, at the request of California fire officials.

Premier David Eby confirmed the deployment in a post to social media, adding the team would be “departing imminently.”

“We’re also working to send ground crews as part of a national response,” Eby said.

“California has been there for us, we will be there for them. That’s what good neighbours do.”
