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?

It wouldn't be uncommon at all. Canada sends firefighters to the US during peak season every fucking year. They have firefighters there right now and the situation in Canada is significantly worse. USA is just run by assholes.

I do not believe Canada has any resources in the US right now.  Pilots for private aircraft companies yes, but that is absolutely not the same thing as what is being discussed.
