I think it’s admirable that both Mexico and Canada sent their firefighters to help with the crisis in Los Angeles. It really shows solidarity between countries. Social media has been all over it, with people from both sides praising the efforts. There’s always a lot of negativity about international aid, but I believe it’s important to help out when things like this happen, especially with the destruction caused by those fires. The fires have been affecting entire communities, d when you see governments stepping in to assist, it kind of restores some faith in humanity. I’ve seen a lot of positive comments, and it’s inspiring to see people come together despite the distances.

Seeing Mexico and Canada helping out during such a disaster in the U.S. makes me feel proud of the international cooperation we have. People on social media have been sharing videos of the firefighters arriving, and it’s heartwarming. But, at the same time, there’s a bit of cynicism online. Some argue that we should focus more on our own problems here, but I think in situations like this, mutual aid is vital. We live in a global community, and what happens in one country affects all of us.

I’m glad to see that Mexico and Canada sent firefighters to help Los Angeles. With everything that’s happening globally, like the climate change crisis, it’s no surprise that wildfires are becoming more common, and it’s good to see countries helping each other. There’s been some criticism online from people who believe we should focus on domestic issues, but the way I see it, helping others when they’re in need makes us all stronger. Plus, the firefighters who volunteered are real heroes, risking their lives for strangers.

Honestly, I think it’s a beautiful gesture of solidarity. Mexico and Canada offering support to the U.S. speaks volumes about international unity. On social media, you see people appreciating the effort, but there are always a few voices questioning why we don’t invest more in solving our own problems. Some say we have our own environmental issues to worry about, and I get it, but we can’t close ourselves off from the world. A disaster like this needs all hands on deck.
José Hernández, 35, Chef.
I think it’s great that Mexico and Canada sent their firefighters to help. On social media, people have been debating whether we should be sending our resources elsewhere or focusing more on our own crises, but I think it’s just part of being a global community. The world is more connected than ever, and we should support each other. I saw one tweet that said, ‘We’re all humans’ and I couldn’t agree more. Helping out, even in a crisis across the border, shows humanity at its best.

I feel a sense of pride when I see countries like Mexico and Canada stepping up to help. The fires in Los Angeles were devastating, and every bit of aid counts. I’ve been following the situation on social media, and while the general sentiment is positive, there’s also a lot of criticism. Some say we should focus on our own environmental problems, but I believe helping out in emergencies is what makes the international community strong. Besides, these kinds of fires affect everyone, not just the U.S. I think it’s good that we all pitch in.
