    Firefighters from Mexico arrived at LAX on Saturday afternoon to provide assistance with battling the wildfires across Los Angeles. Gov. Gavin
    Newsom and his delegation and the Mexican firefighters stood side-by-side holding U.S., Mexican and California flags to mark their arrival. Watch
    the report from Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025.
    More than 70 firefighters from Mexico were welcomed by Gov. Gavin Newsom
    at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday, offering aid in the
    county's fight against some the state's worst fires in history.

    "Emergencies have no borders � we are deeply grateful to our neighbors in Mexico for their unwavering support during one of our greatest times of
    need. Thank you to President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo for lending the best
    of the best," Newsom said.

    The 70+ firefighters and disaster relief workers, from Mexico's National Forestry Commission and Ministry of Defense, will add to the state's now
    14,000 personnel fighting the fires (including those from other agencies
    like guard service members, highway patrol officers and transportation
    teams), according to the office of the governor.

    The firefighters from Mexico will form handcrews to assist in firefighting operations.

    "Mexico's seven major forest-vegetation types, which together cover 60.94%
    of the land area (1,954,658 km 2 ); xerophilous scrub alone covers 27.46%
    (see Table 2)."

    Mexican "handcrews", yet Newsom and Bass called the NYFD unqualified. No wonder unions voted for Trump this time.
