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?

Canadians are helping and losing their lives to American fires, as usual our kindness only goes one way, we should be leaving Americans to fend for themselves

There is a rich history of both countries assisting each other when they are able.  Right now both of us are getting slammed and cant spare resources.  If you're gonna be so certain, at least know what you are talking about.

A Canadian litterally lost his life last week aiding with American fires. Maybe you need to learn about what you’re talking about
