Mexico Sends Wildland Firefighters Across Border

Mexico wildland firefighters are among more than a hundred responders being sent from Mexico to the United States to help battle wildfires in California per diplomatic posts by the Consul General of Mexico in Dallas.

Mexico’s Environment Department said Wednesday that five teams of twenty highly qualified, equipped firefighters from Mexico’s national forestry commission will work with the U.S. Forest Service.

The group landed Wednesday afternoon at San Bernardino International Airport per local news.

Firefighters from Mexico will first be sent to work in California’s Sequoia National Park. The park is threatened by the SQF Complex of fires ignited by lightning in the Sequoia National Forest.

The department said Mexico can spare the crews because in 31 of Mexico’s 32 states there are no active wildfires.

The summer and early fall are rainy season in most of Mexico.
