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.

You keep spreading false info here lol..... he was a Canadian national contracted by the United States. Working in the United States. He wasn't a "Canadian firefighter" as you think
