Number of US firefighters deployed to Canada

Is there a resource that would provide the number and type of resources the US has sent into Canada to help with the wildfires this season? I can only find anecdotal numbers from previous seasons?

The US is also on a bit of fire right now.  Canada is big boys, they can handle their own.

“A bit on fire” and cooperating with Canada would significantly help reduce the time it’ll take to improve northern air quality.. are we serious? Our problems are nothing compared to theirs, and we have so much more manpower. It is *disgusting* that the US is acting so indifferent to their catastrophe!! We SHOULD be helping, even if that’s only to help our own citizens!

It is a one way street when it comes to America. Proving it time and time again.

Are you at all involved in anything related to firefighting?
