Mexico is sending a team of specialized firefighters to assist in combating wildfires in Los Angeles County, California. The delegation, which includes experts from the National Forestry Commission (Conafor) and the National Defense Secretariat's Plan DN-III, is set to depart on Saturday, January 11. This initiative follows a series of devastating wildfires that have claimed at least 10 lives and destroyed over 10,000 structures. The Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the deployment after discussions with U.S. President Joe Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom, emphasizing the support as a gesture of solidarity and due to the significant Mexican population in the affected area.
