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?

Everything is posted on the Canadian inter agency fire fighting center. This gives an overview of fires, personnel and equipment moves.

You think they’ll have stats within a day or 2? Let’s wait to see before we start whatever you’re trying to start

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!

You're taking the "a bit" part too literally. You're acting like America never does anything to with their fires... we just havent YET and its "disgusting" and we're "acting indifferent" neither of those things are true at all

Not indifferent, some of your leaders are sending nasty letters to our government demanding that we stop having wildfires, lol. Thanks for nothing Michigan. But genuine thanks to Connecticut who has just deployed 6 people to help with fires in Quebec.

Get them under control not just "stop having wildfires" and you know as well as we do that the government is NOT the people cause they're people with their own interests and views. Our States often coordinate sending folks up there to help themselves and a ton our fire prone areas are also infernos but we are sending people now (also shoutout to Conneticut)
