American Firefighters Get Applauded As They Arrive In Australia To Assist With The Bushfire Relief Efforts
January 9, 2020
According to the National Interagency Fire Center — the government agency that is coordinating the deployment of firefighters from the U.S. — roughly 100 firefighters have been been sent to Australia over the last four weeks, with 50 to 60 more planned to be dispatched Monday. At least sixteen of those firefighters have been sent from California, where fires scorched thousands of acres across the state throughout the fall.
Canada is also sending firefighters to Australia for the first time. Stephen Tulle, duty officer with the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center, told CBC that a group of about 36 is assisting.
US fire fighters arrived at Sydney Int Airport this week, on their way to assist with fire fighting in Victoria.
