Their deployment to assist in getting the huge amount of blazes burning nationwide under control will last around 38 days. This lil international friendship is everything – we’ve also helped them out battling their natural disasters, largely wildfires as well.
This is the first time Canadian firefighters have been deployed to Australia under the Exchange of Wildland Fire Management Resources Agreement. Good luck to everyone involved and stay safe!#bushfiresNSW

Apparently the squad of specialist firefighters have been picked for their skills in managing incidents, including aviation and planning. All the best to them!
