As Trump Threatens Mexicans, Their Firefighters Are Battling LA’s Wildfires

This isn’t new. In 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, 100 Mexican firefighters flew to Tulare County to help battle the SQF Complex Fire. Mexican firefighters also helped save lives during the 2018 Camp Fire, which is California’s deadliest wildfire to date. In fact, according to KVPR, a National Public Radio station, “for over 35 years, the United States has partnered with Mexico to share resources during peak fire activity.”
